oneredtrim 148 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) That little article also does'nt mention him captaining City or Captaining England on his debut or the little fact that a club just outside of the then Manchester boundaries (Trafford United) were actively seeking his signature or him being the first player to walk out onto the newely formed Maine rd. Big chats are currently ongoing to have him remembered along with Trautman on the Etihad campus Edited June 20, 2015 by oneredtrim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
