Soccer Legends Lee, Bell, Sommerbee

 Francis Lee, Colin Bell and Mike Summerbee are forever synonymous with the swashbuckling brand of football that once won Manchester City SIX major trophies in 11 seasons. It was City's Golden Age, in the 1960s & 70s, when a Blues team built by Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison challenged for the title 'No 1 team in English football' as they amassed the silverware of First and Second Division Championships, European Cup-Winners-Cup, FA Cup and two Football League trophies ... plus the bonus of two Charity Shields. Lee, Bell and Summerbee were the stars, but City fans remember too Doyle, Corrigan, Booth, Book, Pardoe, Oakes and Young. Now, from the archives of the BBC, re-live the goals and the glories... the three Wembley triumphs... the nail-biting finale to the 1967/8 Championship... and the days when a 'City-United' derby match inevitably meant a Blues win. Fascinating new interviews with Lee, Bell and Summerbee - and the always controversial Malcolm Allison - recall the excitement and reveal some unexpected behind-the-scenes stories.

English Leagues the 60s: Manchester City Tottenham Division One 1967 1968

Match of The Day
Maine Road, Manchester
Saturday 9 December 1967

Genial Joe Mercer and his radical coach, Malcolm Allison, were two of television's first soccer pundits as the profile of the manager grew in the 60s. Their Manchester City team came out of the Second Division to win the Championship within two years.  
One of the exuberant performances produced by their star-studded forward line came against Spurs on a frozen pitch. Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee, Neil Young and Tony Coleman made light of the conditions to perform a football ballet on ice.

After Jimmy Greaves had put Spurs ahead, City tiptoed through the Tottenham defence time and again. Bell,Summerbee, Coleman and Young scored in that order, but such was their mastery of the conditions there could have been many more goals. Such a winter's scene could only have happened before City installed their superb under-soil heating, which was later laid 9 inches under the surface. But even on better pitches, it is arguable whether Maine Road fans have ever seen a better exhibition. It gave City a platform for only their second Championship, which they clinched at Newcastle on the last day of the season, while United abdicated the throne in front of the cameras by losing to Sunderland.
Manchester City: Mulhearn, Book, Pardoe, Doyle, Heslop, Oakes, Lee, Bell, Summerbee, Young, Coleman. Scorers: Bell, Summerbee, Coleman, Young
Spurs: Jennings, Kinnear, Knowles, Mullery, Hoy, Mackay, Saul, Greaves, Gilzean, Venables, Jones. Scorer: Greaves

Fa Cup 2010 2011 Manchester City Stoke

Final
Saturday 14 May 2011
Wembley Stadium, 

London
Referee: M. Atkinson
Attendance: 88643

 Manchester City n'est pas devenu du jour au lendemain l'équipe la plus spectaculaire, comme en témoigne son dernier succès acquis à domicile face à Tottenham (1 -0), en restant recroquevillé devant son but. Mais le club, qui a enfin intégré le Big Four, a l'occasion de remporter la Cup face à Stoke City cet après-midi à Wembley. La programmation de la rencontre de Championnat Blackburn-Manchester United, deux heures et quart avant le coup d'envoi de la finale à Wembley, a déclenché une polémique à Manchester. Le sacre annoncé des Red Devils, champions d'Angleterre pour la dix-neuvième fois de leur histoire en cas de match nul à Ewood Park, éclipserait totalement le premier trophée des Citizens depuis trente-cinq ans. Or, sir Alex Ferguson et les siens se feraient une joie de gâcher les festivités du "noisy neighbour» (« bruyant voisin »), deux semaines avant de disputer la finale dela Ligue des champions à Wembley contre le FC Barcelone.

Carlos Tévez sera-t-il aligné par Roberto Mancini ? Le 5 mai, l'Italien avait affirmé qu'il lui serait impossible de titulariser l'attaquant argentin, victime d'un claquage à la cuisse droite le 11 avril à Liverpool (0-3), si celui-ci ne jouait pas contre Tottenham. Mardi, Tévez est entré à la 83e minute. Si les derniers tests médicaux sont rassurants, rien ne dit pourtant que Mancini titularisera un joueur avec qui il s'est encore accroché sur le bord de la touche mardi soir et dont le départ cet été semble inéductable (à l'inter Milan ?). Cette rencontre pourrait être également le dernier éclat de l'immense carrière de Patrick Vieira (35 ans le 23 juin), six ans après que l'ancien capitaine des Bleus a offert là Cup à Arsenal contre Manchester United lors des tirs au but (0-0, 5-4). Si la quatrième place en Premier League ne garantit aux Citizens que le barrage de la Ligue des champions et s'ils devront se méfier de Stoke City, invaincu depuis cinq rencontres et tombeur d'Arsenal (3-1) dimanche dernier, la perspective d'une qualification pour la C 1 et d'une victoire en Cup laisseraient à penser que Manchester City est arrivé à ses fins après avoir déboursé plus de 300 M€ en deux ans ! « Mais ils ne s'arrêteront pas de depenser avant d'avoir gagné la ligue dess champions ou le Championnat » a lancé Harry Redknapp, le manager de Tottenham. Si le club souhaite alléger une masse salariale (152 Me) plus importante que son chiffre d'affaires (143 M€) en se séparant d'Adebayor Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Jô, Wright-Phillips, Bridge, Onuoha, ils rêvent aussi d'Ibrahimovic (AC Milan), Xavi (Barcelone) Fabregas (Arsenal), Kaka (Real Madrid) ou encore Sneijder (Inter Milan). Rien que ça !

English Leagues the 80s: Tottenham Manchester City FA Cup 1980 1981

Final Replay

14 May 1981
Wembley, London
Attendance: 92,000
Referee: Keith Hackett

The South American pair Ardiles and Ricardo Villa, Ardiles especially, added strength and guile to a team built around the languid talents of Glenn Hoddle. With a natural finisher in Scots international Steve Archibald. only a creaky back four let them down. But fortune srniled on them. QPR. Hull, Coventry and Exeter were ail despatched at White Hart Une. Only Wolves barred their way.
After an enteruining 2-2 draw. Tottenham enjoyed the distinct and unfair advantage of a replay at Highbury, Urged on by local support packing three sides of the ground, two frotn Gardi Crooks and a rocket from Ricky Villa sent Spurs' fans streaming from NS wilh an unac-customed warm glow.

Manchester City was another club to be found filed under the misnorner 'sleeping giant'. Their recent Cup forays had ended in humiliation but John Bond had added sonie resolve and diis season found them in no mood for charity. Crysial Palace and Norwich, both top flight clubs, were hit for four and six respectively and a tie at Peterborough that in recent seasons would have broughi about their downfall was nçgoiiated withoui raishap.The sixth round brought a batde with Everton, City winning dirough after a replay at Maine Road, thanks to two goals from full-back, Bobby McDonald.This left die little matter of Bobby Robson's Ipswlch at Villa Park. These were heady days for the Suffolk side. Riding high in the League, rney were tu win the Uefa Cup the following month and started dus semi-final as favourites. Normal tinte produced little in me way of action or goals, and a replay looked on the cards until Paul Power popped up with an extra-time wjnner.
Two of the Cup's most celebrated names had endured a decade of watch-ing deadly rivais hog the lirnelight. Now their bridesmaid years were over, and Wembley was in for a treat.
No one remembers the fîrst gaine, s achievement in scoring for both teams. His shoulder had deflected a Hoddle free-kick past the unlucky Joe Corrigan
By contrast. the replay was a classic. For Ricky Villa it was a renaissance. Out of sorts on Saturday, he was substuted midway through the second half and cut wandered round the perimeter towards the dressing room. He could hardly have been quicker out of his blocks on the Thursday night, smashing home the opener after only eight minutes.

Within three minutes City had replied with a goal that under normal circumstances would have been replayed ad infinitum as one of Wembley's greatest. Such was the control of the teenage McKenzie's waist-high, falling volley thai the bail arrowçd into the top corner from the edge of the box.
That it was eclipsed is some measure of Villa's effort. As the match ended its final quarter-hour, the game could not hâve been more finely balanced. Reeves's penalty early in the second hall" had been answered on the hour by the oppor-tunism of Crooks, who had pounced on a loose bail in the box.
There looked no danger as Calvin fed the Argentinian on the left wing, City's right flank was policed heavily. but Villa embarked on a mazy dribble, appearing to pick up speed as he did so. He slalomed past Ranson and Caton, then cut back in a single movement to throw botb off balance. As Corrigan advanced, he conjured enough room to stab the bail under his body and into the net. Having appeared to cover every biade of grass in creating the goal, his wild celebration threatençd to mow a fresh pattern into the famous turf. It was a goal fit tu win any game. For the lOOth final, it seemed the most fitting of tributes.

"La plus belle finale depuis quinze ans! L'Amérique du Sud remporte la Cup ! C'est viva Villa pour Hot Spurs! Les deux buts de Villa sèchent ses larmes !"... Commentaires dithyrambiques à longueur de colonnes. Quelques séquences télévisées permettent de voir les cinq buts de cette seconde manche : la fantastique reprise de volée de Me Kenzie, le penalty de Reeves, les deux buts de Villa, pleins de sang-froid, de finesse et de vengeance, celui de Crooks, quasiment volé dans les pieds d'Archibald. A quatre jours d'intervalle, Tottenham Hotspur et Manchester City ont montré avec autant de conviction les deux faces d'une monnaie jamais dévaluée, la finale de la Cup. Les meilleurs ont gagné, ont posé pour l'éternité, ils ont coiffé la casquette immémoriale du vainqueur de la centième, ils ont brandi la Cup enturbannée à leurs couleurs. Au pays de l'illogisme et du délire, ils ont respecté la logique. Quand ils sont rentrés dans leurs quartiers de White Hart Lane, debout sur leur autobus à impériale, cinq cent mille fans leur ont fait un accueil délirant. Bilan : une centaine de blessés. Décidément, ils sont fous, ces Anglais !
