To make @compo greet.
 

1955 FA Cup Final, Newcastle United v Manchester City (I thought City only got invented five years ago) 

 

3-1 United and four Scottish Internationalists on the park, Jimmy Scoular, Bobby Mitchell and Ronnie Simpson (uncapped at the time) for United and Bobby Johnstone, City. Johnstone scored with a header. United defence should have been ashamed.

 

City won the 1956 Final, Johnstone scored again.

I was told this by a former Hibs captain when Simpson and Stein were at Easter Road Stein never took to him as a goalie hence he got rid of him then both ended up at Parkhead and the rest as they say is history, it’s a funny old game as Greavsie used to say .
