My favourite City websites & blogs



If you're interested in City's history in depth, visit the best website on the net  'The Mancunian Way'.  Just go to http://www.mcfchistory.com   In a word,  Brilliant!

If you want pics and match reports of City's more recent history visit Richard Tucker's fantastic website  http://www.rtfract.com  with loads of pics and a report from every home game.
Also on the same site, some great pics from the 1960's and 70's.  http://www.rtfract.com/citypast.htm

I also recommend the Daily Mail's City page for their match reports and photos, at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/index.html

The first City Magazine - 1967-68



This was an official City magazine produced for the 1967-68 season.  The foreword by City Chairman Mr A.V. Alexander is interesting as he comments the next step for the team is to bid for honours.  This season would, of course,  be the start of the most successful era in City's history.  The magazine has 60 pages, well worth the price of 2/6 when it was published, and is packed full of fascinating features about City and some of  our rivals in Division One.   I acquired mine off ebay for 99p, an excellent buy for a little bit of City's history, highly recommended.
