Copenhagen was deemed the perfect venue to decide the replayed third round European Cup Winners’ Cup tie between City and old foes Gornik Zabrze and it was hardly surprising only 12,100 turned up to watch the match.
City didn’t dally around in what was a effectively a replay after both teams had won their home legs 2-0 and, determined to defend their title, they brushed aside the Poles with goals from Neil Young, Tommy Booth and Franny Lee securing a 3-1 win.
Chelsea were waiting in the all-English semi but an injury-hit City would lose both legs 1-0.
