My dad worked over in Sierra Leone for a few years after the war over there & his mate is a big city fan (my dads a red, but never manager to pursuade me to join the dark side).
Anyway, my dads mate helped set up the Sierra Leone branch of the supporters club & even re-mortgaged his house to bring one of the lads from there over to see a few games this time last year. The club were great, donating loads of kit & what have you & they've got their own academy set up over there.
And people say we're destroying football - nonsense, we're the best fans in the land & all the world!
Not a fan of Bellamy, but if this is true, then fair play to the lad, he's gone up a notch in my estimations.
I heard that story on the radio last year, a lad from SL came over to watch city and was talking about supporters clubs in his country.
i am sure he said he was staying in Reddish while he was in this country.
