Should be on the famous city fans thread. I can see John Lennon, Austin Powers and the Duke of Edinburgh

Also makes a nice change to see a photo of City fans without the mad hatters in the front stealing the limelight. Tv cameras find them every time and I'm sure the rest of the country thinks we're all like that.

Fair play mate. Fella to your right got an incredible set of sideburns, (I'm assuming he's got a matching one), and a fella wearing a tie to your left!

Nope, I was too young, but I do recall the Telegraph headline at the time and it was something along the lines of "The faithful fifty."

Took just 50 fans, but that must have been quite the trek back in those days

Great photos. I don't imagine it was that easy (or cheap) to travel to Bulgaria back then - certainly no package holidays to Sunny Beach available I would have thought!

Anyone know how many travelled to Munich in the next round?

Shame we couldn't play in Europe after winning the Cup as travel within Europe was much more practical by then, although also a bit more hazardous with all the aggro around at the time.

Always wanted to watch City in Europe, here's hoping we sneek an FA Cup semi final with Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City and get a guaranteed spot through the back door

Was there, chap at the front I’m sure is Mick Salmon was a match day steward for years. Not many went half a plane full we were all on the same plane as a load of Chelsea Shed boys on their way to a game also in Bulgaria but they were sound lads.
Never went to Munich game too expensive.

Amazingly always on the front row at away games when we can't choose our own seats...
