the decisive game…

1972 - JULY CUP Sun-23-Jul-1972 [n] L0-5 Manchester City (July Cup Final) Thistle were no match for City with their international players. They trailed 2-0 at h-t and a 3rd after 7 mins of the 2nd half killed them off. 2 late goals (pen, 77 and 80) flattered City. It turned towsy late on and there were 5 bookings. A disgraceful tackle by Summerbee on Anderson put him out for months. Davie McParland
