You wouldn't even get names like Frank and Bert these days, never mind their characters which, unfortunately, are long gone

Real superstars.

And a trend setter in his distressed trousers!!

A proper suit too.
No bum freezer jackets and leggings for trousers then!

Swifty looks like either an east end gangster or the head of an Italian crime family (in a good way!)

Always makes me laugh when the clowns say we have no history. This one photo alone shows how utterly clueless and ignorant they are. Absolute legends of the game but loads of so called football fans wouldn't even know who they are.

This photo just makes me appreciate even more how lucky we are, at many different levels, to be City fans.

I’d rather look like that in a suit than the trend for a two sizes to small look of the sort Sunak favours.

I agree, for the avoidance of doubt it wasn't a criticism. He looks the business!

I was.

When I look back, I can't believe how different everything was. And I mean everything. Totally.

Perhapd it is because I was a small boy and the whole thing was an obsession with me. I couldn't wait for Saturday afternoons and when they arrived I was transported into a wonderworld. I can't recreate that magical feeling now, despite the marvellous stuff that City play.

To adapt Worfsworth.....
"There was a time when going to watchthe Blues
To me did seem
Appareled in celestial lght....
The glory and the freshness of a dream."

Ah well. That's the way of the world. Gone but fondly remembered.

Eheu fugaces labuntur anni, said Horace the Roman poet.

I must stop now. I'm getting maudlin.

Effortlessly stylish
That could be Burt Lancaster and Tyrone Power on a film set in Hollywood

Thanks

Magical..I get it, its wonderful to the see the blues successful again but I'd swap it for watching city at maine Road again in the 90s..win lose or draw the match day was magical
