Play about life and football in Manchester in the 60s

Postby Wonderwall » Wed Apr 20, 2016 10:25 am

A mate of Nigels Tackle's Dad, Bill Cronshaw (a massive City fan), has written a play about life and football in Manchester in the 60s. It's touring a few venues in and around Manchester in June.

Details here:

Leaving this as a sticky for a while as it might appeal to some of the older folks on the site who want to reminisce or to some of the younger posters who want to get a glimpse of what supporting City back then.

I remember a Play for Today called Zigger Zagger about two young City fans (hoodlums). Or is my memory playing tricks?
