City say goodbye to Goat and Maine Road
This was the day – Manchester City’s last at Maine Road after 80 years and 1,700 games – when the match took second place to the history and the tears.
City, who move to the City of Manchester Stadium next season, rolled out the heroes of the past – Denis Law, John Bond, Malcolm Allison, Colin Bell and Francis Lee among them – – in the pre-match pageant.
