8-4 v Accrington Stanley, May 31st, 1947

Slack marking? After shipping eight? I think that’s an understatement.

This was a freak result in the first game back after World War II – City had drawn 1-1 with Stanley earlier in the season and were on a three-game winning streak.

Still, 8-4, that’s some game, right? Oddly, like in the 1931/32 season, we were Champions a year later.
