This is a bit niche….

In October 1905 City played Manchester United in the league and Denaby United in the FA Cup on the same day. A player called Carney played in the cup tie, his only first team appearance for the Tigers.

Records show his first name as Matthew, however I’ve seen little evidence for this. I’ve pieced together information from local newspapers at the time - he was a soldier at Beverley Barracks, his rank was Drummer, he was referred to as Mick - and I believe he was actually Michael William Carney, born in Beverley in 1879.
