Today (16 April) is often claimed as the day @mancity was formed. It is the day that Companies House registered the company but the founding meeting was a few days earlier on 12 April (see gjfootballarchive.com/2024/04/12/t... ). The postal network is the difference in days.

With England Women playing at Wembley tonight here’s a reminder of a MEN article I wrote back in 2019 calling for the FA to recognise the #ManchesterCorinthans Since then the FA have recognised the Corinthians, funding the Blue Plaque and more : www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footba...
This nice reminder of today in 2012 now seems even more significant. @mancity were in a worse position then than they are now, yet won the league.

Arrived back from Italy after a short break. We should have been in China over the last week or so but the situation in the Middle East meant our holiday company cancelled the trip. Our hurriedly organised Italian trip was great and at least we get to attend the City-LFC game today too.
City v LFC is a nice reminder that last year we were able to take a small group of #ManchesterCorinthians to @LFC to meet their women’s team etc. It was a great day & included a Corinthian in her 90s. Follow the link for story gjfootballarchive.com/2025/04/29/t...
It’s City v LFC today. There are loads of articles, images etc of games between these clubs on my website. Follow the link for a selection: gjfootballarchive.com/2026/02/08/l...
I keep reading codswallop about there being ten surviving #ManchesterCorinthians. There are considerably more than that I’ve interviewed 4 alone from the opening season of 1948-49. Here’s a link to images & film from the reunion organised 16 months ago: gjfootballarchive.com/2025/12/02/o...
2/2 All profits from the book, like the 1st edition, go to creating events for the Corinthians; capturing & preserving stories & memorabilia etc. This has been a decade+ long project. For details of how you can support it see gjfootballarchive.com/2026/03/25/m...
1/2 The #ManchesterCorinthians were a pioneering women’s football team who toured the world, challenged the FA ban & played a major role in establishing competitions. You can now get your name included in a special section of the 2nd edition of their non profit Authorised History….
There was a problem with ordering earlier. Now sorted….
