I was at the game at Old Trafford in April of the following year when we won by a solitary David Herd goal. Looking at my old programmes, Billy Hodgson played that day at inside left. I have stronger memories of the game in 1967 in which David Herd broke his leg, but I don't think Hodgson played that day. Both Leicester goals were scored by Sinclair.
@@mnd1955David Herd-what a prolific goalscorer he was. I do believe Matt Gillies (City’s manager) expressed an interest in him at some stage in the mid-60s. Perhaps it was to replace Ken Keyworth (someone may want to correct me on this one). I read up on David when he very sadly passed away and the small family gathering that took place at his funeral in Scotland.
@@northlincsfox243 Matt paid £35,000 for him from Arsenal in 1961. We were rebuilding after Munich. Denis Law followed shortly after and he and Herd formed a formidable partnership. Was Matt Gillies in charge for the 1963 cup final?
that will be my dad Billy Hodgson scoring the first goal , now living in Scotland and still playing football
Fantastic ! Lived in Leicester and York, and saw him play several times
Fine player and if course most of all with Sheffield United before
Best Wishes
I am very sad to learn that your dear dad has passed.
R.I.P. Billy Hodgson. I heard the very sad news earlier. Regrettably, this match was 3 years before I was able to see City for the first time.

@@mnd1955 Yes he was. Your lads are just walking out of the tunnel as I type 😀
Proud to know Billy Hodgson and his family. His sons Ian and David played football
But never as good as there dad.

The players and stadiums change, but the results never do.
