The 1975–76 season was Manchester City's 74th season of competitive football and 56th season in the top division of English football.[1] In addition to the First Division, the club competed in the FA Cup, Football League Cup and the Anglo-Scottish Cup. The club managed to win the Football League Cup, their first major trophy in 6 years. The final is best remembered for Dennis Tueart’s famous overhead kick early in the second half, which proved to be the winning goal in the end. It was a final that most City fans held onto however, because the club wouldn’t win another trophy for 35 years.
