Looking back through the history books for the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City’s history.

Wednesday 6^th September 1967

Goals from Paul Hince and Neil Young give City a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Maine Road as Joe Mercer’s side record their third successive League victory.  

The strike from Hince is a dream come true, especially as it’s only his fourth game for the Blues – he managed to score twice on his debut against Wes Brom six months earlier – but his hopes of nailing down a first-team spot are dashed when Francis Lee joins City from Bolton a few weeks later taking the No.7 shirt – and Hince’s place with it.
