For International Women’s Day I went to interview a Manchester Corinthian about her time playing for the club 60+ years ago. She went on a tour of Italy in 1961 and talked of games where @mancity’s Bert Trautmann attended. As always, great to chat. #IWD2026 #ManchesterCorinthians

Were You There 60 Years Ago Today? Manchester City v Leicester FAC Post by @Garyjameswriter.

They had kit provided by Umbro (a director was on city’s board) and Umbro had a deal with Adidas back then too. They didn’t see a conflict at all.
