St. Mark's, West Gorton artwork

An original piece of artwork!  I based it on the old Baines cards from the early 20th century to give it an authentic look. I think only one picture exists of West Gorton, which is the team photo from 1884-85 (http://www.mcfchistory.com/2011/10/monday-mystery-why-did-we-have-maltese.html), this was the main reason I decided to do something a little different.

Aguero's goal v QPR

Probably my favourite picture of Aguero's title winning goal.  Just a fantastic piece of history frozen in time.

Ardwick enamel badge

I bought this enamel Ardwick badge a couple of years ago, it was listed as a limited edition, but not sure if it was!  Don't think Ardwick ever played in black and red, so colours are probably wrong.

Ogden's Cigarette Card 1906 - Club Colours

Continuing the theme of club colours, another cigarette card, this time from Ogdens from around 1906.  The shirt in the picture seems to be the wrong shade of blue when compared with the kit at http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Manchester_City/Manchester_City.htm

A lot of early memorabillia wasn't always accurate!

Gallaher Cigarette Card 1910 - Club Colours

Cigarette card issued by Gallahers in 1910 depicting club colours. The player featured is Irvine Thornley, more information on him can be found at this link http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/MANCthornley.htm
I wonder if the FA (or more likely UEFA) will have another 'investigation' into City's finances in the future?

Cash wont corrupt us (the 1968 version)

A very interesting article from a 1968 magazine called 'Out of the Blues' by Manchester City Captain Tony Book, in which he talks about how money may affect football in the future.  Very topical as City  have been accused of 'ruining' football since acquiring their wealth and starting to win trophies!!
