We should have won the league that year, it would have made such a difference." In Sunderland's highest post war finish they ended up 1 point behind retaining champions Portsmouth and also runners up Wolves. This is Broadis' highest ever league finish. Manchester City Broadis moved to recently promoted Manchester City in October 1951, this time for a fee of £25,000. It was there Broadis gained his first England cap and wrote his first newspaper column thanks to the Manchester Evening News.
