The Junior Blues.....

[IOWBlue]

I went to quite a few Sunday mornings at the social club, probably 77/78 time. Also went on a Junior Blues run coach away to Leeds, where Helen (RIP) sat in seat next to driver and ran it like a Sergeant Major. Maybe 79?

Got to meet the players before a home game against Southampton in Dec 78, through the Junior Blues. Remember seeing Paul Power in his pants on the massage couch, loved that set up at City back then, everyone seemed so friendly.

Started going in 1975 to meetings at the city social club with my grandad, who lived in withington.they started a Salford junior blues in about 1977 and I played football for the Salford junior blues in an under 15s league even though we were all under 14s ,remember getting battered 28-0 on chorlton park by Trafford barons, the junior blues was a great idea and brought about a hardcore support, why it ever folded is disappointing cos it would really indoctrinate young fans,my sons in their 30s now were joined the day they were born, remember having my photo took with the league cup in 1976 in the social club.

Early 90s we went to a JB meeting at Maine Road and afterwards we went yo a charity match in Wilmslow where City old boys were playing United old boys. City won 10 - 0

Happy days

Sunday mornings in the social club, think I won an egg and spoon race back in the early 90s and won a City pen. Remember the sponsored trots they used to do round the pitch, was pretty special running out of the players tunnel at Maine road.

I was at the Free Trade Hall rally. The reserves had won the Central League so a few of the players were a bit the worse for wear! A certain Mr T Booth amongst them! :) I was on the stage and got to shake hands with Peter Swales and he gave me a pennant.
I still have my picture with the League Cup taken by none other than Kevin Cummins, his stamp is on the back of it.
Managed to get an ‘at arms length’ picture in 2014 with the League Cup and along with my 1976 picture, with the trophy on my head, that became the pictures used for my 50th Birthday Party invites.
Pissed off pretty much most of the sky sport rag in laws, because they knew I had been at both games.
I remember a Christmas Party at The Sogat Club on Chapel Street that the Salford Branch organised too. Bizarrely Les Olive and Steve Coppell were there to allegedly get ideas on how to set up a similar thing for the raggies.

Wasn't Dennis Tueart the president at some time in the 70s?

I was member no 3. The son of 70’s City journalist Peter Gardner who I went to junior school with was no 1 or 2. Still got my original membership card/ letter Mother kept all her life with autograph’s from the pantomime cast that they used to put on in the old social club at Christmas and occasionally on the field!! :)

Happy days going to the meetings & getting tours of MR.
