Having been relegated to Division Four in 1960, York City were 5th in the table, five points behind leaders Crystal Palace, when they played Exeter who were languishing 5th from the bottom of the league. York ran out convincing 6-1 winners of the game with young local player Colin Addison scoring two of the goals. Two months later Addison was sold to Nottingham Forest for a then club record £12,000 just days after City had been knocked out of the F.A. Cup at the 3rd Round stage by Norwich City. Addison made his debut as a 17-year-old in 1957 and scored 31 goals in 97 League and Cup matches over three and a half seasons. www.tooab.com
