Big Mal ... Prophet ... 4 decades later ????

[oakiecokie]

Not certain how many have seen this book called appropriately "The Little Book Of Man City"
Quotes from famous people and players on City.
Could Big Mal be coming back with a comment he made 4 decades ago :
"Four years ago it was Man United,Man United,Man United.It drove me mad.If I mentioned Man City,they laughed at me.Who`s laughing now ?" (03/06/69)
Weird,spooky or are Big Mals words coming back to hurt those Rags again ???
Another qoute I love :
"I`m glad that George Weah left.If he`d have taken 12 shots at John Lennon,he`d be alive today" (Bernard Manning.)
"No.No.No !! We can`t have him. Isn`t he the guy who threw the bed out of the window at Lilleshall ?" (Mercer to Allison ref signing Tony Coleman.)
Brilliant little book !!

Another pearler from the words of wisdom book :
"Ajax aren`t all they are cracked up to be.For a start they`ve only got one decent player and thats Johan Strauss" The wonderful Joe Mercer !!

 

[durriti]

I agree, a fantastic little book. A personal favourite off top of my head is Johnny Marr's son reaction on being told that his dad would understand if he wanted to start supporting the rags as City had just been relegated to the third tier. "But dad, I could support Arsenal or Liverpool but I could never support THEM!"
I'm sure we can agree that is a well brought up young man who is a credit to his parents!

I've got one of them. Wonder where the cuff it is? That's the rest of today sorted.

Another gem :
"The best thing about supporting City is you are never in a mid table,boring position.You either get relegated or promoted.Why would you want to supprt Spurs or Villa,who win nothing and finish sixth or seventh each year."
Will Greenwood 2002.
Well at the time he was probably right !

"On my gravestone the epitaph will read :sooner be here than at Old Trafford"
Bernard Manning 2002. Priceless !!

I remember Lee Bradbury's commanding officer quoted in the press after his £3m City move...........

"I hope he shoots better than he does at the barracks".....lol!
