We had some great players playing for us a that time.

What a great goal number 3 was......good evidence of the flamboyant passing game Bond instigated.   Good to see Peters'' first goal for the club too.

Colin Suggett my all time favourite., got his autograph after this game.

Wow - love that third goal.

[TIL 1010 4,722]

Blimey 41 years ago and just goes to show how memories come flooding back. What a tireless workhorse Phil Boyer was.

[shefcanary 2,388]

Great find. Yes, that third goal was pure class; perhaps should be dissected at Colney. I''d forgotten that SuperMac was such a good team player........

[OldRobert 38]

Lovely football.  Crisp passing.  Great memories.[:D]

[Wings of a Sparrow 1,410]

Martin Peters ''ghosting in'' was a term they liked to use.

Great time to be a City fan.

Gerry Harrison still doing it for Sky. Bit before my time but remember 2-6 reversal to Forest some Irish kid named Keane (2 goals) took us apart after Tim Sherwood scored opener. Lets hope for a performance on Saturday. Possibly Roy Keane debut or first goals did same as another Irish lad Keane Robbie did for Wolves at Carra.

pete once again being able to find a negativeotherwise what a season.dumped out of the top tier the season before with both Villa and Man Utd, City once again bounced back at the first time, with an appearance at Wembley as well a great cup run that seems to have been forgotten ..... four replays and a double header in the semi finals against Man Utd.... and yes we beat the binners again on the way... yet againand we won away at Pompey in the penultimate game (a bit ''hairy'' that)great days

[Year of the tiger 54]

The cup run included the best scrap I''ve ever seen on a football pitch. Not you normal handbags but two players belting the hell out of each other. It was Charlie Boyer & a Sheffield Utd player name escapes me, but it went on long enough for Ken Brown (then assistant) to get up from the bench & sprint down the line to split them up. Ended in a 2-2 draw..the match not the fight

[TIL 1010 4,722]

This was also the same season Mel Machin scored a hat trick in the 1-3 victory at Forest.

[Crabbycanary3 994]

Was that the last time we scored from a cross? :)

We were in the ''dark shorts'', which is probably the same thinking, as to why we are wearing our 2nd strip tomorrow...............

[Bill 1,788]

I think the ''dark shorts'' comment was made as most would have still had black and white sets then.much as with the snooker commentator Ted Lowe''s words " and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."

[Crabbycanary3 994]

I know Arthur, it was more to do with the thread about us wearing our 2nd strip tomorrow.

[Bill 1,788]

Perhaps the other one is still in the wash. It would have been a bit difficult trying to get all the shirts etc dry with all those storms. The Football League don''t think of these sort of things when they put all these games so close together.

[nutty nigel 7,509]

Great find Arthur[Y]

I liked goal A.....

[Duncan Edwards 2,222]

Pfft.

Obvious foul before the first goal.

Forest were on the beach.

Nice move for the third goal but spot the copper non-plussed as the celebrations ensue. Bound to be Til1010.

Anyway, we''d never have won that had we played a better side.

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,020]

Football was so simple then, get the ball out wide to the tricky winger and get the ball into the box, no diamonds, zonal marking and false nines, has the game become too technical?. I really do believe that these days we over complicate what is basically a very simple game......
