City 4 United 0
United 1 City 4
City vs. United League Cup semis: 2-1 and 2-2
City 2 Gornick 0 (agg 2-2) - play-off 3-1
Heady days, all out attack, the best forward line ever. 54,000
crowds and magical dark smoke-filled klaxon nights of european
adventure.
City 3 Athletico Bilbao 0
And the mighty night against Schalke with the 5-1 dream win and the greatest
noise ever heard in that stadium. Coming back from 1-3 down to win 4-3 against
Wolves in the League Cup with 3 goals in 7 minutes. Crying tears as United
knocked us out of the Cup in 1970 at O.T.
And through it all my dad smiling and knowing that he had the happiest
eleven year old in the world...
It was the best of times.
