The reasons I chose city over the dark side much to my dads disappointment.

Currently I do some voluntary work with people with Neurological conditions, so sad and alarming watching the deterioration.
Loved Dave Watson, tough no nonsense centre back and as people on here have said, imagine him and Kompany at the back together!
Part of a very decent mid/late 70s City team (before it all started going a bit pear shaped!) Fav picture has to be of him holding the League Cup in his blood splattered shirt.
Had the pleasure of meeting him once when I was about 9, he seemed a genuinely decent bloke and actually thanked me for asking him for his autograph!!

I'll never forget that image of him doing the lap of honour at Wembley in 1976, blood stained shirt and Rocky-esque eyes. Made of steel in them days

I remember an England game when I was maybe 8 or 9 when he headed a ball from just outside the area and the opposition keeper caught it. Still the most powerful header I have ever seen.

Great defender and one of my favourite ever City players.
He and Dennis Tueart were once ahead of me in the queue at an ice cream van at Dunham Massey (way back on their playing days).

One of my all-time favourite City players from that era. His bullet header against Ipswich in '77 is still the best headed goal that I have ever seen. (Apologies if the below was previously posted.)
I sincerely hope that he gets the support that is needed at this time.
