What was the first City game after you were born?

[BillCarlisle]

When we went down 63 he was off,Stoke I think.

Yeah. Couldn't afford to keep him. Pretty much par for the course at the time.

That was a desperate season in my early youth watching City. I remember a couple of weeks after the Wolves hammering Bert was sent off against West Ham at Maine Road for booting the ball at the ref. It was debatable whether or not it was accidental or in sheer frustration at bent decisions. Some things don't change:-)

[old blue]

5th December 1949. 3 days after I entered the world. Derby County 7 City 0. Ouch.
Bert's first season and he always maintained that it had been his worst performance for the Blues. Fortunately things improved after that :-)

We played Barnsley on the day I was born 14/12 1946 . We won 5-1, how could I not become a Blue?

February 1949, City beat Newcastle 1-0 at Maine Road. Frank Swift was in goal and 51,000 in the crowd.
It was Newcastle again for the first match I saw, City lost in the 1955 Cup Final.

Norbiton Junior was born while City were playing- 4.40 on 17March 1984, the 5-1 defeat at Craven Cottage. I’ve always been grateful to him for sparing me that

I was there on Donald Francis travel Droylsden coaches

 

[JGL07]

From what I recall as a young lad, Peter Dobing was a very good player. In a better team than City's at that time he could have been a star.

He was signed with the cash from the Denis Law transfer. He was fair player but found his level with Stoke City.

Saturday 29th August, 1953, two days after I was born, we were at Sunderland. We won 5 - 4. The first home match was the following Wednesday ,2nd Sept, got beat 1-0 by Villa. Went with my Dad a good few times whist very young but my first game without him was with two mates, just a bit older than me , September 7th 1963 v Leeds . I was just 10.
We won 3-2. On the wall in scoreboard end when Jack Charlton went up for a header and bust his nose, came right over to were we we stood blood everywhere but magic sponge did the trick.
