Emotional moments courtesy of Manchester City.

But for sheer emotion, it was the Kings comeback game v Newcastle

Agreed, 40-odd thousand and scarcely a dry eye when Colin ran out for the 2nd half.

Throw in Bert Trautmann opening the new Kippax before the Villa game in 1995/96, a lap of honour in a "popemobile" with Bert clearly in floods of tears at the reception from the fans.

Emotional moments with City include:

Putting a city scarf in with my dad before we buried him

All the lads getting together after the cup final v Stoke to celebrate, we were all scattered all over Wembley. So once we all got to the coach we celebrated after years of waiting for that first trophy. Met many top lads at City but there a gang of 9 of us who have always gone in the main together and socialise together. Very special that day

All I ever wanted before I died was for my team to win the FA cup. Just once. Walking up the steps to the top tier at Wembley, racing ahead of my sons and missus because I started to well up with tears. Waiting for 35 years for this day and thinking about it being taken away by Stoke was becoming too much. My older son 25 years old realised what I was doing and caught up with me and reassured me that everything was going to be alright. And it was.

I dont cry that much but for some reason i did when we was singing bluemoon after nasri had scored to make it 2-1 to us in the title winning season. Epic moment, one of the loudest bluemoons i have ever witnessed.

Ya ya at wembley I couldn't see for tears at the end magic moment.<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 03, 2014 9:04 pm --<br /><br />

City made me cry for the first time when they sold Waggy to Wolves and then again on all the notable wins, losses, transfers, injuries, glories and debacles since. Since we won the cup V Stoke it has actually got worse! Man City making me cry as a kid and as an old codger! Even the thoughts of the King's return v Newcastle and Aguerooooooooo have set me off again. Out of them all I do find it very emotional when one of my Blue heroes passes away and this is happening far to often for me these days. RIP all of you who have given me so much.

Nice post blue.

Sums me up to a "T".

As I've said in a previous thread, I don't remember being as emotional at Newcastle in 1968 when we won the league, as I was at the Aguerooooo moment 2 years ago (was it really 2 years ago?). Just the thought of Colin's comeback still brings a lump to my throat - the more you age, the worse it gets.

Got to go - my cocoa's getting cold!

My father (and mother and their parents!) was always a City supporter but his real love was cricket; Old Trafford always meant Statham, Higgs, Pullar and Lever etc., never 'the Rags. He rarely went to Maine Road, so my first match, aged 10,, was when he took me to Bert Trautmann's Testimonial in 1964. I still recall that day and remember thinking that I had now become a fan rather than a mere supporter. Within a season, I was going to every home match, often with a mate whose father was a copper who sat in front of the Platt Lane stand. I still follow cricket but, unlike my father who died twelve years ago, from that day it was always City at the front of my mind. So yes to both the King's return and Sergio's goal but my first match remains my #1 emotional moment.

- Beating them lot at Wembley in the 2011 Semi, years of being ridiculed, being attacked on Wembley way outside, to finally beating the fuckers in a huge derby at the home of football. I was welling up before the final whistle & thinking "this is our time".

- The Stoke final, never thought I'd see the day of us winning something. The way home flew by.

- After the 6-1 I felt a huge weight off my shoulders, after the game I could picture all the rags at school & who I knew, all the mickey taking & down right arrogance, & I just imagined what they were thinking, it was bliss.

- Then the Parade after we won the league, I'd never seen so many people, it was a beautiful day... Me, a mate & his mate (who I'd just met) were running around Manchester like 10 year olds climbing on buildings etc... I felt untouchable that day & I had this feeling that City would just go on to dominate world football.

- Obviously the Aguero moment itself, running on the pitch & all that followed will not be beaten.

Here's something a bit different. As Kiwi City fan I'd been lucky enough to see City beat Leeds 4-0 in 91-92 and draw with Oldham 3-3 in 92-93 as an 18 year old. Went back home and basically saw zero tv coverage of City for years. Other than a couple of season highlights videos I got, there was nothing but checking the paper to see how they'd gone.
In 2001 the Mrs and I went to work in Brunei. It coincided with City getting back into the premier league and Brunei had satellite tv! SE Asia was Rag mad and it wasn't the prettiest to see, hence I couldn't wait till the Maine Road Derby which was to be televised at around midnight. Cue Goater having a blinder, Anelka's goal from Camelgob's error, The goat finishing off Gary Neville's oustanding assist....and the waterworks started.... it was a long time between drinks watching the blues play.
Over the next two years I then got to watch the club slowly struggle and then get relegated again, but I'll never forget that 3-1 derby win....

I live in Spain and although I;ve been a City fan all my life (born Gorton) I haven't watched a live home game since the Maine Road days of Lee, Bell, Summerbee etc. Ten days ago, whilst visiting family and my wife was safely in the Trafford Centre, I did the Etihad tour after years of seeing the ground on television. At my age i get emotional quite easily but throughout the tour my eyes were welling up, the lump in my throat wouldn't clear as all the history and passion of the Club and its fans washed over me.
Now back in Spain I can watch the Southampton match on television knowing that I've sat in the Director's box, Pellegrini's seat and walked up the tunnel. Tears come easily now, but that's normal when you share life's journey with family and friends and additionally I've shared mine with the emotional rollercoaster that is Manchester City.
My tour guide was a chap called Dave. if you read this Dave, I was the guy who wanted to join your tour an hour earlier than scheduled. Oh! and by the way you were a bit rude to those two United fans but somehow it doesn't matter.
