Manchester City: Cup Kings 1956 by David Saffer with John Maddox and Peter Robinson (Over The Moon)

Manchester City Cup Kings 1956

Manchester City Cup Kings 1956

The FA Cup has produced many evocative moments but few have matched Manchester City’s 3-1 triumph over Birmingham City when legendary goalkeeper Bert Trautmann played the latter part of the game with a broken neck. Blues triumph was masterminded by Don Revie who fulfilled the deep-lying centre-forward role to perfection in what became known as the ‘Revie plan’. With reminiscences of the cup run by Trautmann and a number of his teammates the book is limited to 1000 copies and includes a signed certificate by Trautmann.
