Anyone watching this match on a the moment (City VS Chelsea circa '79), these days they wouldn't be allowed to play the game on that pitch, cracking goal by Paul Power though, the Chelsea CB's look like gangsters

Is this the one that Osgood and Duncan McKenzie scored in?

I love 70's football, how times have changed, probably not a foreign player on the pitch.

Yes, Osgood has just levelled to make it 2 v 2, yes Mackenzie scored from a free kick, bit of a Corrigan howler

I remember a rainy muddy night against West Ham, can't remember if it was home or away but the ptich was a mess. Corrigan hoofed one up the park from the edge of his box then turned to trudge back towards his goal only to see the ball fly into it. A West Ham player had hit the hoof straight back up the park on the volley and scored over the back of Joe's head.

I remember it too, Ronnie Boyce was the West Ham player who scored. I just read last week Joe Corrigan was so distraught at that incident until after the game Bert Trautmann told him not to stew on it and get on with being a great Goalkeeper.
