The 1975–76 season was Manchester City's 74th season of competitive football and 56th season in the top division of English football. In addition to the First Division, the club competed in the FA Cup, Football League Cup and the Anglo-Scottish Cup. The club won 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.
