Magic Moments

Postby KippaxBlue » Tue Aug 15, 2017 10:17 am

I decided to start a web page covering magic moments of games I have seen over the past 100 years (not quite yet) With the Everton game coming up next Monday I thought I would start with a game City won with ten men back in August 2002. The new web page is - http://www.rtfract.com/magicmoments.htm
The original game page is http://www.rtfract.com/city0203.htm

Excellent, as always. On a side note, were you there for Bert Trautmann's debut and if so what do you remember (if anything)?

I was, 'mirabile dictu', far too young to be there for Bert's debut, being hardly born at the time, but when I saw the thread title, I thought of Perry Como if that helps :roll: :roll: :roll:

First saw Trautmann at Maine Road on Nov 4th 1949 playing for City reserves against Leeds united. Bert Sproston was also paluing for city that day - 4-1 win
I do remember in early December going to Derby to see us thumped 7 nil! A terrible pitch -very muddy. I do have some early 8mm film of him playing and will never forget his special one handed throw out.

Thanks for posting KB. This puts me in touch with City history, a City legend.

I was just talking to somebody today about that Everton match and apart from Anelka's wonderful display, the MoM display from Schmeichel. I then went on to lament about us trying to repeat this by signing David Seaman the season after!!

Absolutely.

It's one of the things that makes the site - I always look forward to KB's photo histories for the games.

Seconded.

Edit: Just noticed nottsblue seconded it, so I'll third it.
