First Blues Result

[MikeO]

Here's an interesting one (I think so anyway), what was the blues first result after you were born? Mine was a 4-0 win over Blackpool on 15th April 1960 when I was a day old. Vernon (2), Harris and Collins got the goals. It was a Friday game (must have been Easter I think) and amazingly they played Leicester away the following day and got a 3-3 draw...imagine asking teams to play on consecutive days now .

We finsihed League Division One: 5th place. & F.A. Cup: Runners-up.

 

However on the 22nd of March that Season we lost 0-1 to Nottingham forest.

 

The 2 Manc sides finished 1 & 2 in the League - & we lost in the Cup final to a side we had once famously rallied against to overcome a half time deficit. Sadly on this ocassion we went down 1-0.

What ever happened to this European giant

 

Amazing story that was. Remember so well the first game of the 77/78 season...home to Forest. They'd come with a late run in the second division at the end of the previous season and just nicked the final promotion place, so thought it would be a nice easy win on the opening day. They stuffed us 3-1, went on to win the title and then the European Cup for the following two seasons...unbelievable. No money to speak of either...say what you like about Clough..he had something!
