Frank Swift died at Munich as a journalist, and great to see Busby in there. RIP

Eric brook ♡♡

[@johnnewton3335]

Maybe Eric brook should take all our corners today, I don't think I've ever seen city take a good corner

What? KZbin showing black and white footage of MCFC. All those nonentities such as Tilson, Toseland, Cowan, Brook, Swift and Busby. And everyone thinks MCFC have no history. The 1930’s two FA Cup final appearances, a record attendance of 84-569, that still stands today and a league championship, while the rags were languishing in the lower reaches of the old second division. With crowds as low as 3000. MCFC, the club with NO history, and NO fans. MCFC no history since 1880

Tilson is my great grandad

@@elijah6326 historically one of the clubs greatest players. At half time of the 1934 FA Cup final at Wembley, the young 19 year old keeper a certain Frank Swift cut a disconsolate figure following his mistake, which allowed Portsmouth to lead 1-0, Tilson said in his broad Yorkshire accent, “Tha, need not worry lad, I’ll plonk in 2 in next arf”. Fred duly did, and brought the cup home to Maine Road. Legend. You must be very proud of his achievements.

You had 'history', every club has 'history', yours is just mediocre to alright before 2011. Your argument is a weird one.
