I was 8 years old and went to the Manchester Derby on my own in a 60,000+ Crowd. Some of the older supporters had me perched on their shoulders so that I could see the game. Alex Harley scored for City and I think Albert Quixall scored for United , we drew 1-1 and few weeks later we were later relegated.
However a few years later was the emergence of the finest City team period ever …..The Allison and Mercer era.
Ithink I paid 6 pence (schoolboy) to get in and thats probably 2.5 p in todays money !
I actually have a scrap book full of news cuttings of every match City played in their League championship year 1968 Steve Maycock
