Questions   Correct answer
     
1
 Which notorious goalscorer and former City player was nicknamed "Nellie"?   Neil Young
     
2
 Former City hero Uwe Rosler won the battle against cancer and returned to football to manage which Club?   The Norwegian top division club "Lillestrøm"
     
3
 Many players have moved between the two Manchester Clubs. We even had a former United player as Manager not so long ago. But can you name a City manager that has also managed the Dark Side (ManU)?   James Ernest Magnall
     
4
 Which player in the 2005-2006 City squad had made most first team appearances for City before the start of this season?   Richard Dunne
     
5
 What makes Boxing Day 1977 so special to many City fans?   It marked the return of City legend Colin Bell who had been sidelined by injury for more than two years.
     
6
 When Arsenals Thierry Henry and Robert Pires squandered their now infamous penalty trick against City earlier this season, it was soon discovered that this was not the first time this exact stunt had been executed against our club. In fact it had been done with success during a Division 2 match in 1964 when City lost 3-2. Can you name the Manager at the club that beat City? [Bonus point: Give a description of what his actions were right after the penalty had been awarded?]  

The Manager was Malcolm Allison of Plymouth Argyle. According to Neil Young Allison leapt from his touchline seat and threw his huge hat high into the air when the penalty was awarded. He did not (AFAIK) speak directly to the players involved so his hat-throwing may have been the signal to the players that they should execute the two-man penalty trick.
