Manchester City hammered at Highfield Road

By Martin Smith on Sep 15, 08 10:03 AM in Videos

HOW times have changed.

Manchester City may be the richest club in the world nowadays.

A team packed with superstars, who can outbid Chelsea for the likes of Robinho.

A club who can make ÃÂ£150million worth of transfer bids in one single day.

But money can't change your history. And the Manchester Sky Blues were well and truly humbled by the Coventry Sky Blues in February 1983.

Captained by Gerry Francis, the Sky Blues gave Manchester City a real hammering - including a classic from future England forward Mark Hateley.

And notice anyone familiar in the away line-up?

Yep, Ray Ranson was proudly wearing the Sky Blue colours. Of Manchester City.

I'm sure his allegiances would be somewhat different if the sides clashed today...
