I remember my old man taking me to a charity cricket day somewhere in Burnage on Kingsway, a City team were playing the local cricket team on a really hot sunny summers afternoon, must have been around 1964.
I remember Dad pointing out Derek Kevan who was slogging the ball all over the ground, he was the one City player I had heard of at the time so was watching awe inspired.
Probably my first dealings with City, my first footie game was Colin Bell's home debut a few years later.
Sorry to hear he has passed away.
