I should have guessed. I'm pretty sure that's the game that John Hawley once told me about, where he simply couldn't get past Bobby Moore, whatever he tried.
Is he still in the antiques business? And whatever became of that other great forward we had, one Stewart Pearson?
Charles I was only a lad at the time LOL and my usual area as Bunkers/South Stand. For that game I was late getting there so that's why I was at the North End coming straight in off Boothferry Road. Mind you there were some wags at the North End I remember one City player having a torrid game, he was hopeless, can't remember the player. And during a quite spell during the game, mainly midfield stuff, this said player fell over and someone from the stand shouted, which could be heard all over due to the quietness at the time: "Come in number (whatever it was) your time is up" Even the players on the pitch were seen to smile, and of course we were all stood in those days, well most of us.
This picture was given to me by Jimmy Lodge (the real one) a small well built guy as I remember with black hair and moustache. I spent more time around Boothferry Park than I did at home, collection autographs after matches and programmes when I could. Roy Shiner is at the back just above Jackie Sewell, (and Brian Bulles) 2 old times past their sell by date that City signed in the early 60's. And in the front, with the autographs, Paul Feasy (holding his shirt) and Charlie Crickmore who was sold to Norwich City, and when we went to Carrow Road to watch the Tigers Crickmore had a blinder and scored. He was a decent bloke too as he often gave me programmes. He lived down Havelock St I think it was and knew my family. please log in to view this image
Can't remember where I got his picture from but I had a habit of getting things autographed. The team was, if my memory serves me right: Davidson, Collinson, Fisher, Bulles, Garvey, Feasy Clark, Price, Chilton, McMillan, Gubbins. please log in to view this image
He is still in the antiques business and Stuart Pearson still works for Man United, doing corporate work and presenting on their in house MUTV channel.
I think this is almost the same team C'r. You don't know their names do you and possibly the years of each photo? please log in to view this image [/IMG]
Here goes Craig. Les Collinson, Dennis Butler, the goalie has me stumped at the moment, Eric McMillan, Paul Feasy Dougie Clark, Billy Wilkinson, Jock Davidson, Chris Chilton, Ray Henderson, John McSeveney. ............. I will have to wrack my brains over the goalie.
Well done C'r. What caught my eye there is Ray Henderson. I'm sure he must be one of our own posters - 'Ray Henderson_retired'. If so come on Ray tell us who that goalie was, and more importantly please tell us your stories as a city player in the 60s. Edit. From Wiki: Ray Henderson (born 31 March 1937) is an English former footballer who played as a right winger. Born in Wallsend, England, Henderson began his League career with Middlesbrough before moving to Hull City in 1961. He attained legendary status at Hull, forming part of a formidable forward line with Ken Wagstaff, Chris Chilton, Ken Houghton and Ian Butler whose goals won Hull City promotion in 1966. He left Hull for Reading in 1968 and joined the coaching staff there after retirement. I feel pretty ashamed that I didn’t know that.
It's a bit off thread and not to do with City, but I stumbled on this the other day:- "Jeff Hall, the Birmingham and England defender, died of polio a fortnight after being taken ill in March 1958. The publicity surrounding the death of the 29-year-old left-back, who had never lost a game while playing for England, was instrumental in persuading the public to participate in a mass inoculation scheme to combat the disease."
First time post here so I hope I'm right. Keepers I remember from around that time - Maurice Swan and Ian McKechnie but there was a second string keeper who I think this is. So here's a name..... Mike Williams but please don't shout at me if I'm wrong!
Sorry, first post wasn't clear what i was responding to First time post here so I hope I'm right.

Thanks OATAAT I just did a google search for Mike Williams but didn't come up with anything I'm afraid. I did come across Peter Walters from the 1970 squad but there was no real profile info and I suppose this fella was before him?
Actually I think you could be right as the name does ring a bell, the other name I thought of was a goalie who went on to play for Derby under Brian Clough and that was Les Green. He was short for a goalie, about 5ft 8ins or something, but Mike Williams is the one.
Right Folks, this will test you. I need some names for the 50-51 and 65-66 teams below. The winner gets a lock of Jimmy Bullard's hair! please log in to view this image [/IMG]
The 65/66 team in a moment but as for the 50/51 photo I can only manage about 4. Middle row 3rd from the right Don Revie, front row knelt down second from the right Brian Bulles, 1st row sat down, but partly cut off and on the far left Jimmy Lodge, and in the middle of the same row in the lightest suit, Raich Carter. Now the other picture: Back row: Alan Jarvis, Andy Davidson, Maurice Swan, Mick Milner, Denis Butler, Chris Simpkin. Front Row: Terry Heath, Ken Wagstaff, Chris Chilton, Ken Houghton, Ian Butler The 2 Butler's were not related, we actually had an international in the line up in Welshman Alan Jarvis, winning 3 caps, although Chris Chilton did play for an England XI and I think Waggy was picked but never played. Wagstaff, Houghton and Butler were of course 3 of Cliff Britton's signings at £40,000 each, Wagstaff from Mansfield, Houghton and Butler from Rotherham.
