Kippaxkid-- I lost my dad some 15 years ago. Like you , I am a Blue because of him. Because of me( and my wife) , both of our sons are Blues. My older son watched City with me in the 80's and 90's. I felt very proud (and emotional ) when I received a New Year greeting off him some time later thanking me for "making " him a City fan. I am sure that your Dad felt the same about your devotion to the team and following in his footsteps. Part of my pre-match routine since my dad's death has been to stand at the Garden of Remembrance at the Etihad and have a chat to my dad- I know he is watching and no doubt wearing something sky blue , as he always did on match- day. I am sure that your dad will be watching too. My condolences to you all. Let's win the next 2 games for our dads.
