Snap - except it was the Manchester derby in Sept 1967. I was born 8 days later and she stood in the corner between Platt Lane and the Kippax in these pre-segregation days.

My dad and mum both came from City supporting families ;-) They split up when I was tiny but I do have a half brother (born 1970) named Colin Francis. No idea where that came from ;-)

I remember that! Lol!!! One of the stewards told my aunt (who had taken me to the match) to get me out! Who/what was bulldog??
I can't tell you how pleased I am that someone remembers that lol

My first game was just after transfer deadline day 2008. Before that I was a season ticket holder at Stamford Bridge

No, but go on.... These are the stories we need to capture. Ta!

It was a game I saw but just can't remember anything else about it - was hoping someone somewhere will remember it too!
