Newsletter #405


All quiet once again, though more players have been released and Brian McGlinchey has gone to Port Vale, reportedly without a fee.

Chris Cobb has set the ball rolling asking what has happended to bygone players. I realise that MCIVTA once did something similar in the past – a kind of ‘Where are they now?’; however, it was a long time ago, and there were probably only 200 of us then, so there are plenty new faces to be informed.

This one reaches 2,117.

Next game, Sunderland at home, Saturday 18th July 1998 (Brightwell)

NEWS – NEWQUAY AWAY

I am told on good authority that City are 95% confirmed as visitors to Newquay in Cornwall on the evening of Tuesday 14th July.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

As a City fan who has been living away from the U.K. shores for a while, I occasionally wonder about the after-football life of some of the Man City alumni. During the summer weeks I thought it might not be a bad idea to ask subscribers to the newsletter whatever happened to some of those people. It may – or maybe not – be common knowledge among U.K. fans but I’ve lost track of lots of these players.

I’ll start the ball rolling: from the early 70s… Tony Coleman, Neil Young, Joe Corrigan, Tony Book, Mike Doyle (he had a car dealership), Tony Booth… and any more people can think of.
