 Notable incoming players included Colin Stein and Tommy Hutchison, both of whom would go on to become highly popular with the supporters, while Jeff Blockley was sold to Arsenal for a club-record £200,000.The changes worked, as City went eight games unbeaten, including a 2–0 win at Arsenal featuring a much-lauded Hutchison goal.They also progressed to the FA Cup quarter final for the third time, but a poor performance at Wolverhampton Wanderers ended that run.
