In what will remain a record attendance for a City home game, 55,019 crammed into the extended Boothferry Park for a 6th round F.A. Cup tie against Manchester United. Photos of the massive ticket queue snaking around the Fer Ark car park are lodged as notable part of the old ground's history.
A tight game saw Raich Carter's Tigers lose out narrowly to a controversial goal from Pearson. It was a rare moment of disappointment for City in a season in which they powered their way to the Division 3 North title, losing only 4 league games along the way.
Even flukeing wins way back then!!!
