R.I.P Johnny Hart - City Legend. Deepest sympathy to all his family & friends.

I remember going to the friendly match when City played Jamaica at Maine Rd which was several days after Stoke game (exactly 20 years ago yesterday infact). It was a warm-up game for them prior to the 98 world cup. Nicky Weaver made his debut or us that day & played an absolute blinder (0-0...

I remember him playing for QPR at Maine Rd towards the end of his career and coming over to take a corner between the old Kippax and North stand. He was getting the usual sh*te (& rightly so being an ex red) but just before he took it he turned round to the crowd, smiled & blew a kiss to...

You beat me to that one you swine!

Cheers for the past 7 years Kol, goodbye & good luck.

- sorry mate, know this more than just one!

Good point about Park, can't remember if it was Bond or caretaker John Benson who brought him in on loan. As for the Stuart Lee fee I think we were probably propping up Freddie's scrap metal business!

1.Terry Park (the glen hoddle of the 4th division) 2. Alfonse Gronendike (the best passer of a ball in the Dutch 2nd division) 3. Christian Negoui (the best impersonator of a footballer since Ali Dia). Actually I don't think we did sign Park from Stockport County in the end. As someone quipped...

Attendance quoted as 48000 but I reckon you could easily add an extra 15-20k on the official number. Never seen or been anywhere as crowded as Maine Road was that Saturday afternoon. Watched the match from right at the back of the Kippax whilst stood some 6ft high metal railings. One false step...

Well done Raheem.

My mate and I had a bit of a crush on one of the female assistants in Gansgear back in the mid 80's. God, she must must be knocking 50 now - at least!

You're spot on about the American thing. Think they might have been classed as baseball shirts rather than American football shirts and it would have been around 1980 - every bleeder seemed to have one!

I went to a Catholic school in East Didsbury back in the 1980s. Don't to remember being taught to disrespect anyone none catholic or any other race / colour / creed for that matter and strangely, no mention of infidels or the "kuffir". Meanwhile over in West Didsbury.......

Well said Newquay my man. Been a tough tough week in Manchester for obvious reasons but good to be able to end it on a positive note matter how minor in the scheme of things. Ps, give my regards to Watergate Bay.

No and in any case according to many of our lesser rivals none of us were here anyway?

I am a 47 year old mentally screwed social nonentity -- and yes I luv it too. More than f****** ever in fact.

Totally agree mate, I said exactly the same thing before today's game.

I was at back of Block 540 so didn't really see it. What exactly did he do to celebrate? Put a shredded wheat on his head?

Happy Birthday 30th Birthday Joe. Enjoy!
