50 years ago today - Joe Mercer came...

12 years of age. Began supporting Man City. Roller coaster is an under statement. Some horrible seasons. Joe Mercer and Malcolm Alllison they were a team :-) . Never thought that a Sheikh would buy City.
 
27 years ago today, we said goodbye to Joe. A true gentleman, whose name is intrinsically linked with our club. If there was such a thing as reincarnation, I'd love to know his thoughts on today's team and also the club as it is now.
 
So sad, and bad, when the club fell out with him. Big head Allison.
Thanks for great memories, Joe.

" that's my boy for £45,000".........headline on signing Colin Bell.
 
I know it sounds daft, but I still miss Joe Mercer. Apart from being a great manager, he was a decent pundit on TV, certainly compared to the shower of shit we have now.

In modern football the knives would have been out early in the title season, as we had a pretty bad start.
