    Yes I did know that.

    I once saw Tony Leighton watching the action. He was in a wheel chair if my memory is correct.

    As a goalkeeper my knees/ hips and elbows were constantly ripped up on the all-weather gravel.

    Many played in tracksuit bottoms to help not getting skinned.

    And then had to buy new tracksuit bottoms every few week as they were often ripped to bits!

    It never deterred some of the better players from making the odd sliding tackle, the scabs on their legs never heald from one game to another.

    Our highest post-WW2 crowd and a famous victory, when City turned the division upside down, inflicting Hull's only away defeat all season. Hull were champions that season and City finished bottom of the league.
