City and United were fairly amicable in their relationship back then.I remember that time so clearly. Duncan Edwards was my favourite player at that time. Yes I know he played for them but the rivalries were not bitter in those days. I've mentioned before about going one week to them and one week to Maine Road because as a teenager I couldn't afford away days.
So young Duncan, who definitely would have been an England legend, was my favourite player and I cried quite a lot when I heard he had died.
We’d been accommodating and happy enough to allow United to play at Maine Road a decade earlier. This created a group of Mancunians who’d go and watch City one week and United the next. This carried on after United moved back to Old Trafford (in the 60s, my Grandad would take my Dad and Uncle to Maine Road one week and Old Trafford the next when City were away).
