We're so lucky to have the insightful @GaryJamesWriter as one of our website contributors. This City Soundbite about George Smith, a striker who played for the Blues in the post-WWII period, is a gem... @mancityfpc #OnceABlueManCity

"Aston Villa will never be Man Utd" - Carragher so ignorant, before start of the Prem in 92 Villa had more titles than Utd & same number of FA Cups & European Cups. 3 Clubs will always look after their own interests & undermine threats from rival clubs.
Carragher doesn’t hold back on Aston Villa fans. 😳

Player of the week is Harry Gregg. Born on this day in 1932, his heroic actions at the Munich air disaster in 1958 should never be forgotten. In 1983, he was reunited with the lady and her daughter that he saved that day.

I love this photo from the 1950s of two truly important Manchester Corinthians. I called to see Mary (taller player) the other week. She's in her 90s but still talks with a passion about playing football back then. Her story is of course in the book: gjfootballarchive.com/2026/1…

“If you look at the last 11 years, Man Utd has had quite a few coaches…so that would say to me that there’s something wrong with the environment…” Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe speaking to me in Feb 2024 shortly after investing in the club ⬇️
