Off to see a former Manchester Corinthian today. She’s in her 90s and this is a social call rather than an interview. She played for over a decade and is one of over 50 Corinthians from 1948 onwards still with us (it’s been wrongly promoted that there’s only 10 survivors!)

Great result and wonderful (and entertaining!) goals yesterday. Keep the pressure on AFC and if @mancity can take it to the final day that will be some achievement. C’mon City!

Nice City in the Community idea yesterday to have children they work with produce some of the artwork at the match. Wonderful idea.

Congratulations Manchester City on winning the WSL: gjfootballarchive.com/2026/05/06/c...

Received a parcel today with this on the back. Made me chuckle.

Had an enjoyable afternoon talking about with Manchester Corinthians, Droylsden & Benfica Ladies (the last 2 Tameside clubs) with a women's guild branch in Audenshaw: gjfootballarchive.com/category/man...

If you missed it during the night I was on Talksport about 2am talking with Paul Ross about Bert Trautmann. We discussed his life and also, briefly, the Manchester Corinthians. You can listen here (my part starts around 1 hour 17 minutes into the show): talksport.com/play/talkspo... Enjoy.

The City draw with EFC was frustrating/an opportunity lost BUT there’s still hope.More hope than only a few weeks ago when Arsenal were being compared favourably to Utd’s 1999 treble winners. If it goes to the last day that will still be remarkable. It’s not over yet. C’mon City!

Great work by the Women's Football Awards (partnered with the brilliant Women in Football) to recognise the Manchester Corinthians this week. Nice quotes from Toni Duggan & Jamie Carragher too: lnkd.in/db-iiB3p #WomensFootballAwards

Well that table looks nice tonight. It doesn’t feel that long ago since 2nd placed Arsenal were being promoted as being better than MUFC’s 99 treble team. Great work City. I feel for Burnley and their relegation.

Today (16 April) is often claimed as the day @mancity was formed. It is the day that Companies House registered the company but the founding meeting was a few days earlier on 12 April (see gjfootballarchive.com/2024/04/12/t... ). The postal network is the difference in days.

With England Women playing at Wembley tonight here’s a reminder of a MEN article I wrote back in 2019 calling for the FA to recognise the #ManchesterCorinthans Since then the FA have recognised the Corinthians, funding the Blue Plaque and more : www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footba...

This nice reminder of today in 2012 now seems even more significant. @mancity were in a worse position then than they are now, yet won the league.

Arrived back from Italy after a short break. We should have been in China over the last week or so but the situation in the Middle East meant our holiday company cancelled the trip. Our hurriedly organised Italian trip was great and at least we get to attend the City-LFC game today too.

City v LFC is a nice reminder that last year we were able to take a small group of #ManchesterCorinthians to @LFC to meet their women’s team etc. It was a great day & included a Corinthian in her 90s. Follow the link for story gjfootballarchive.com/2025/04/29/t...
