Went in a pub behind the away end ,sort of adjacent to the real St James park...Boxing day, under Mancini..had a few pints,got loud and started singing "Shall lall lall lall Summerbee" top of me voice,pissed... ,having visions of the 1968 title win in me head...made way to the ground...we were late for k.o....had go up those endless stairs, twas a real effort,but as we got closer to the top...,I could hear that warm atmosphere of a Bubbling Blue away end..I knew we had scored,... everyone was happy, I made the last few steps to the top just in time to hear a Blue ROAR!!! We,d scored a second!! !!!!!
Oh Wow..as I staggered to find my seat at the top of those fucking stairs the beery chants of "Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way"
"Oh what fun it is to see City win Away !!!! Hey!!!" I was straight into the Party.
I've always loved Boxing day Football,it was a unique atmosphere, everybody merry. We won 3-1.
Love Mancini
Love City.
