The other day I was sorting/clearing my wardrobe and cupboards and found this blast from the past in a folder. Sadly, it's a bit faded now.
But what hasn't faded is the memory of walking away from The Britannia Stadium having beaten Stoke 5-2 yet still been relegated to England's third tier for the first time in our long, long history. The worst day in my City supporting life since The Old Man took me in 1959 to see us put four past champions Wolves (though they put six past Trautmann! - my introduction to 'Typical City' was immediate!)
Never did I think at those times that we would attain what we have attained, see what we have seen.
So, 'Thanks' to David Bernstein, Joe Royle, Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon, Mancini, Pellegrini, Soriano, Begiristain and all those playing legends we have supported over the years and all the backroom staff who have contributed.
But most of all, 'Thanks' to the genius that is Pep Guardiola for where he's taken us to.. undoubtedly the greatest English club side that has ever been seen. And please, long may it continue..!
