    Can anyone confirm if Colin Bell played in the FA Cup game against City in 1971 please?

    my memory has got a bit muddled with age but i am sure he did. denis reeves missed kicked due to a split boot and bell scored. over 45 thousand on that day

    Did he score? I thought Young scored the goal? Still, I’m not going to argue with you – I can’t remember what I was doing yesterday

      Bell crossed the ball for young to score after reeves miskicked due to a split boot I was their that day a wide eyed 11year old and we battered them

          Colin Bell scored the goal, this ‘owd sod’ was there and remembers it, Neil Young got the ball kicked out by Reeves, squared it to Summerbee, who played Bell in on the right to score.

          I have the clip on a video and was looking to transfer it to computer as a look how far we have come sort of thing with the final, but haven’t got round to it yet.

          Simmpool I have 2 lasting memories of that game

          1) It was the first time I had seen a real skinhead

          2) Manchester City(Neil Young in particular) peppering our goal with shots, we certainly didn’t batter them, although Corrigan made a world class save in front of us from a Geoff Davies header.

          That’s fine, I just needed to know that he actually played in the game to satisfy the rules (my own) of a blog I am writing.

          Cheers

            I stand corrected sorry lads for the bad info but I was their

            #115803

            I know it’s over 40 years ago but I don’t remember City (Neil Young in particular) peppering our goal with shots. They hit the bar in the first half with a looping shot/header but I don’t remember Reeves making a huge number of saves.

            In addition to the header, Geoff Davies had a shot that struck Corrigan’s legs as he dived the wrong way.

              As anyone got the motd highlights of the game now that would be quality I think it was graham oates who’s shot hit corrrigans studs he also made a top save from jim fleming.

                At the end of the match Neil Young was still searching for the heart of the goal.

                #115808

                He looked out of shape though. By the end he was blowing like a hurricane.
