did you choose or was it bred into you?

Mum and dad weren't really big into football. However, I was brought up (for the first 10 years anyway!) on Claremont Road (number 198, trivia fans), about 5 or 6 minutes walk from Maine Road. They were my local team; pestered Dad to take me when I was around 8 or 9, so off we went, with a little stool for me to stand on in the kippax. That was it; I was hooked!

Another question to you with kids, nephews, nieces. Do you force it on them or let them decide?

My nephew is 2 and a half and already has every city kit out since he was born, got him singing 'we've got robinho' and his favourite colour is blue. Is that harsh? :D

Well I wasn't forced into it by my family. Mum's side are from Wigan and into the rugby. Dad's side are southerners and my dad supports Aylesbury United. So I had a choice, City or Rag.

But in many ways I don't think it was a choice, I think I was born to support City. Looking back it's as if I was destined to be blue. I can't really explain it but I don't think my personality would have suited the rags. Perhaps it has been City which has shaped me, who knows.

I think City chose me.
