FROM THE PRESS BOX

JEFF HODGSON WRITING IN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 22ND AUGUST 1992 Manchester City went down 1-0 against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park as Mike Newell scored in the 69th minute. The Blues had looked like holding out for a point as Keith Curle kept record Rovers' signing Alan Shearer in a vice-like grip. Earlier Niall Quinn, who starts a three-match ban next week, and Rick Holden were the dangermen for City.
