1st gen legends

[Bluemoonbaldboy]

I was born in 1977 both my kids have seen City win as many top flight honours as me. My eldest at least can remember me going through the ringer the last season under Pearce as we barely stayed up. It's unbelievable to think I've took them to away games several times and they've only seen one defeat. I remember going to many as a kid and a win was a rare thing. I'm not jealous at all, I try and remind them never to take things for granted in the hope they keep their feet on the ground. I just hope they don't ever become raggish and expect major honours the moment they take it for granted is the time I've failed!

I often think that about my son and his generation. They're incredibly fortunate to grow up watching City during this period in the club's history, not that you'd ever want to begrudge them seeing the likes of Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne etc in their prime of course. Don't know they're born, mind you!

You need to get Gary James to dig out some old footage of the likes of Bradbury, Frontzeck, Creaney, Pollock etc etc to show to Ric jnr. Then tell him he should thank his lucky stars he wasn't around between, say, 1995 and 2010.

The youngsters know no different and are in for a shock. It is the ones in 30s and 40s that are more blessed, but not the 50 plus ones as they seem to think the 66-76 team can never be bettered due to nostalgia.

Only this.

Never had aggro at Leeds, been crushed on the Kippax or pissed in a sink? They are deprived, Ric.

1&2 OK, but there's no excuse for not having done 3.
