On Saturday 14 July 2007 I was driving my Vauxhall Vectra (later to be stolen off my path and never recovered) in a southerly direction down Kingsway. As I was passing the allotments (later to become a tram station) just before Parrs Wood, it was announced on GMR (later to become BBC Radio Manchester) that City had signed none other than Gelson Fernandes.

Where were you at other equally critical moments in the history of our illustrious boys in blue?
 
Where were you when......

Dennis Law back heeled in 1974?

I was very fortunate to be there and witness the pitch invasion and the greatest relegation ever. I dream of a repeat in my lifetime.
 
When Law backheeled the ball I was in the Stretford End surrounded by the great unwashed rag bastards.
Only being 16 @ the time and small for my age I without hesitation jumped into the air and was promptly spat on and punched by grown men.
Scarey going out of the ground as I was the only one without a rag scarf .
Got back to Cheetham Hill relatively unscathed and with a huge fucking grin on my face.
 
Fernandes: At a pre-season game at Donc surrounded by Blues Googling Gelson Fernandes.

Law: Rag Road paddock wondering how the fuck I was going to get out in one piece.

That day I was up on Houndkirk Moor near Sheffield in my 4x4 destroying the planet and environment - fecking marvellous!
 
I heard that Keegan was to be manager whilst driving from Cadiz to Ronda on Costa del Sol English radio. I have never stolen a Vauxhall Vectra.
 
It was my first day in second year of Sixth Form when the takeover was in force. I went to bed, woke up, and we'd signed Robinho.

I was in the car on the way back from buying a Christmas Tree at Delamere Forest when we beat Everton 5-1 or 5-0 at Maine Road, 00/01.
 
First day of Jury service on the day we sacked Pearce.

I think it was 21 different accounts of a drunken Bank Holiday brawl in Pendleton, before we approached Sven.

Not there, what was the year? I did see us win 3-2 (I think) there and only remember it because it's the only time in my life I've thrown away a kebab as "too disgusting to eat".
 
i think in years to come we will be asking 'were you there at swansea away in the cup match?'
 
Lay on a bathroom floor in Ibiza in late summer 2008 sparkled out of it when a text from my broke the news that we'd been bought by Sheikh Monsour.

Sitting by the pool went out of the window that day, I spent the rest of the day glued to sky sports news as we chucked in bids for Berbatov then landed Robinho. Crazy days.
