Went to the game, and one to forget.

SWP, I was gutted when he was sold.

Parking booked, excited as always. First visit was 1974, now 2024 50 years on, where did the time go, and its getting faster. Never missed a game at Wembley since 1974, am still a kid at heart.

RIP Blue.

RIP Bill.

Nelly, another great player, all City fans of that time knew his qualities, one of our own.

Johnny Crossan, he was a favourite for both me and our Kid at that time, seems a long time ago now, I cant remember the games but always remember the Players and the Stadium, how times have changed, FOC.

Reading this post has made me very emotional, remembering those early days in 1964, standing on the scoreboard end and my dad saying we were a good second division club, loved my dad and wish he was hear to see this, with my brother and my mates who also supported City through thick and thin and...
