That's him.
I read up about him earlier and was shocked to find he died in 1975 at the very young age of 33 years.

City v Leicester 6-0. I was there. I think that was the start of the realisation that we might - just - be about to see something special. 6-0's in the league just didn't happen.

What about his famous brother, Mike ??

I'm not sure, but his uncle, on his dad's side, married a woman from Kazakhstan. Their son Yurac is one.

Some good talent coming through on the Manchester music scene who are big blues. Namely Jack Mitchell and Iwan Gronow from Johnny Marr’s band.

Also, if anyone has Spotify then you need to give Werkha a listen to . He’s a hugely talented Manchester lad called Tom Leah who is also a massive Blue.

 

[The Salford lad.]

“But much of his life in exile had been spent around Manchester. Immediately after Scappaticci left Belfast in 2003, he had been tracked via his laptop to an ice cream warehouse near Manchester City’s Etihad stadium. He was a City fanatic. His father had run an ice cream business. Perhaps the two things were linked – but as with so many of his secrets, the truth of the matter is now buried with him”

Have you seen the food stall on Market street it’s called Scappaticcis , I wonder if there is a connection … he blew the lid in the IRA , in the end the spooks were running them , the break in that I believe was staged at Castleray that showed all the ira informants in Northern Ireland was supposed to have been 1000s , to which the ira said we can’t shoot them all they’ll be nobody left.

Was stood on the Kippax that afternoon,typical City lost 1-0 at Filbert Street later in season just after our 3-1 win at the rags.56 year's ago unbelievable.

City played Leicester loads of times in Cup matches between 1965 and 1968.

City beat Leicester at Maine Road in 1965 in the League Cup while City were in Division 2. City also drew them in the FA Cup the same season and won an away replay after a 2-2 draw at Maine Road.

The following season City won 2-1 at home in the FA Cup. In 1968, City lost an FA Cup tie 4-3 after a home 0-0 draw.

In 1969, City beat Leicester in the FA Cup Final. That was seven cup matches and four League matches in three seasons. I was at every match bar the League Cup tie. I can’t say that I was sick of the sight of Leicester, at least in the cup, because City won most of them.

Over the same time frame City lost 3 out of four league matches against Leicester.

The 2-2 draw in the FA Cup at Maine Road was the first City game I attended.

I know 99% of people on here will not give one single shit, but Kazuchika Okada being a blue always pops me.

Mould Trafford...ohh yes I'm pinching that one if you don't mind

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Who is that mate?

He's a Japanese pro wrestler in New Japan Pro Wrestling. There was a point a few years ago where he was the best pro wrestler in the world.

He also wrestles in the US for Tony Khan's AEW who also owns Fulham, so gives him constant shit about it.

By all accounts he's a huge blue, gets up early to watch every game.

That old guy who was married to Nora Batty(Wally Batty) in Last of the summer wine(apparently Noras family were blues from Ashton) was a blue. He was born in Salford but lived somewhere in Tameside. Joe Glodwin I think he was called.

Joe Gladwin I thank it was. Kathy Staff lived in Mottram when in Crossroads & Last of the Summer Wine, near Lowry’s old house (another Blue). I remember seeing her in Fine Fare at Hyde.

She also lived in that huge house on Stannyhil Rd ....the one that goes through Daisy Nook. Opposite the garden centre, just as it bends up towards Ashton.
