Before the modern day onslaught of the internet, mobile phones, live streams and global connectivity, there was just football and newspapers and Gerald Sinstadt's curiously immobile moustache. In this book, the authors revisit some of Manchester City's most memorable matches and, layer by dramatic layer, give old classics the minute-by-minute treatment, allowing the reader to share the nerve-tingling build up of tension that those who were there on the day felt themselves. This beautifully written and exhaustively researched book follows the dramatic developments in ten all-time classic Manchester City matches - and not necessarily ones that ended well for the Blues. They are dealt with in And He's The Left Back Remember in intimate detail and in chronological order, giving the following chapters:
1980-81 Tottenham 3 City 2 - FA Cup Final replay
1982-83 City 0 Luton Town 1 - Division One
1987-88 City 10 Huddersfield Town 1 - Division Two
