But the drama was not over, and when the referee controversially decided Danny Tiatto had handled the ball, and gave the home side a penalty, City boss Keegan erupted. The first time we scored, there were people turning round and staring at me – some of them with F Troop masks on, trying to intimidate me.” If the City fans in the ground kept schtum, Radio Manchester reporter Ian Cheeseman, doing live commentary, had no choice but to raise his voice as he described the moment. In terms of positive turning points, I would say the game at Millwall, when we had to go down there – a tough place to go,” he said.The striker finished neatly, and then set off for the empty away stand, where the City fans should have been.

So when City’s team coach – guarded by a strong police presence - made its way through the tight south London streets to the Den, they knew they would not have the comfort of their loud away support. After Palace, City went on a remarkable run, winning 19 of the remaining 24 games, winning the league by ten points and scoring 108 goals, with the brilliant Goater netting 32 of them.
