Paul Simpson | Memories of ManCity 5-1 Charlton 1985

Ian is Manchester City’s matchday vlogger from every City game home and away - to sponsor DM @iancheeseman
Here Ian chats to former City player Paul Simpson, who recalls his man of the match performance against Charlton Athletic in May 1985, when he scored one and made four goals as City were promoted back to the top flight of English football
While the commercial world struggles, I’d like to thank Charleslouis.co.uk for their support during the season - the RRG Group for their season long support - you’ll find them here:

What a game, What a time at city, Was on the Kippax as always, What a stand,When the team came out I thought the roof was going to come off. Sing your heart out for the boys.. Amazing I love Man City and it’s good to here from the boys

[@IanArrowsmith]

I was there. What a great afternoon. We even cheered when Charlton scored.

I remember Paul and Perry Suckling living on Kingsway, Didsbury near my school at that time. We would see them in passing. Always thought Paul was a tricky player with a lot of skill. That day was fantastic, sunny in Manchester when i tell my friends here in Lincoln they don't believe me.

That was an amazing day, up there with the best! Simmo 4 assists and one goal. MOTM

I remember the Notts County game. When some City fans ran on the pitch at half time they said over the tannoy they would abandon the game if they didn’t get off. That was the cue for them to pour onto the pitch.

they were truly awful that day except for simpson who seemed to be the only one bothered

I was there,out of the. Kippax & onto the pitch,lost a shoe it was a sunny day,yeh Paul Simpson was a great City player

[@kevinbrookes4870]

Even my Dad who was a Utd fan by the way sat with me. Was a great game we both enjoyed it, and seeing City get promotion. The occasion only spoilt on hearing the news about the Bradford City fire disaster when we both got home, sort of put a dampener on the celebrations, very sad.

I went to every match that season home&away, but leading up to the match City had injury problems and I remember rumours Tony Book was being lined up to play!

Remember Alex Williams going to main road on the 53 bus chatting to fans on the way to a game early in his career at city in the first team Any one else remember going to watch Lancashire play notes at Trent bridge before the notts county game ,,,,,,great day out Cite
