More memories from this time
home game v Blackpool April 23rd 1955
I went to Maine road with my Uncle Joe to see City’s last home game before they met Newcastle at Wembley. we sat at the back of the main stand. City lost 6-1 and I remember Roy Paul pushing Stanley Matthews onto his backside,out of sheer frustration, and all the crowd laughed.
