Fantastic stuff mate, loved it.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Blimey we were bloody good.
And good to hear proper commentators again. Memories of Sunday afternoons with Brian Moore and Gerald Thermostat.
Think it was a young Martin Tyler on Kidds goal Elland Rd.
When Barnes scored at Spurs, I couldn't help thinking a modern day player would have gone down and it would have been a penno and a sending off for the challenge that came in.
Splendid stuff.

Good goals but Piccs, your rosy view of the 70s matches your dire view of the 2010s! 12 goals doesn't a decade make!

Sometimes we were inexplicably fucking awful. After 1970 we had the season Rodders was signed, when he lost us the league, allegedly, and we had the LC in 1976. Then we had Tony Book just losing the league and getting moved upstairs. But often there just the pain we came to know and love.

Oh, and Francis Lee and Rodney Marsh were two of the worlds original 'penalty getters'! Modern players indeed!

Quality compilation. Nice kits too, love the umbro diamonds down the sleeves.

[Dameerto]

"...Tueart, beauty!" I loved that commentary.

[Guy Debord]

Wonderful

I went to main Road in my uncles merc......and I had the lot..scarf..rattle and fucking rossette.
I bet you tried to jump over the turnstile.

Awesome mate, just saved that to my favourites. You can look at the football played, the skill of the players on show or the kits that bring back so many memories; all of them brilliant times, but what really got me about that vid was the crowd. Remember the Kippax when we scored? The crowds went bazurk - everyone pushing forward onto each others backs and getting lifted down 5-10 steps like a tidal wave, with a proper man's 'Roar' rather than the new man's 'Yeah'! Those were the days.

Ahhhhhhh, you never saw Yellow Snow in my Day.

The season Rod was signed & 'lost us the league' we played way way better football than we do now imo. In fact most seasons through to Allison coming back, although we weren't always title contenders, we played better football than we do now. Almost all of the best goals I ever saw City score were in that period as were most of the best players. Hughes' team was the nearest to producing that level of football imo but Robinho is a pale, weak attempt at Rodney Marsh & apart from Tevez, we've lacked the real 'A' list players we had then.

That goal Rod scored v Stoke: any of the old farts remember when he did the same from the edge of the box v QPR (last min I believe) flicked it up & leathered a head high overhead kick into the top corner? Still got the press cuttings somewhere. What a pity his best stuff wasn't on TV.

The Arsenal of the era, who'd've thought it?

That goal by Bell at Chelsea = still one of my favourites

Only City could have Bell, Lee, Summerbee, Marsh & Law in the team & still win fuck all.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

That goal by Bell at Chelsea = still one of my favourites

Mine too. I kept thinking it must be next on the list and there it was:) And as usual he just jogged back to the half way line as if he had done nothing special.

The rest of the team looked like they were used to seeing that sort of thing every day in training.

The best City goal ever for me.

[ant london]

The two Peter Barnes goals against Spurs were bloody brilliant (good blatant professional foul by Alan Hansen on him in the build up to the Royle goal too)

......those clips are quite damning evidence to those who claim that 70's football was just hard tackles, sweat and effort....there is plenty of the "beautiful game" on show there.

Bell's goal was tremendous....however, the Old Stamford Bridge....was their a greyhound track round the edge (a la Wembley) before it all got redeveloped? The stands are bloody miles away from the pitch!??

Finally, I love the old slo-mo replays they used then. The one on Asa Hartford's goal against Milan is class!

[AlpsMaster]

Excellent stuff. Thanks Carl.

Tueart's overhead still tops in for me even after all these years of greater achiev ... oh, wait a minute!

keegan era with benarbia etc was probably as close to that as it could be, but some way off, and watching peter barnes trick his way round players is sublime!!!

I remember thinking as a kid we couldn't lose, and then we'd go out and get beat. How is this possible I thought? Ah, teenagers!
