First City Goal You Saw Live

[OB1]

Colin Bell 1974 League Cup Final. 9 years old. Got taken by my dad and grandad. Cried all the way home at the travesty of a result

That was my first visit to Wembley and I have not missed single City match (incl. Spurs in league, thanks to you) there since then. Travesty is right when it comes to the result. We stayed in London for the weekend. Think Our Kid was left home with our Nan (he'd not started going to games yet) and my Mum went shopping in West End. Can't recall if we went to a show in the evening but we would have had a nice meal out.

At least we made up for it two years later but after that...

Ian Mellor. Chelsea v Man City August 26th 1972. Lost 2-1.

Joe Fagan, 5 February 1955 - we beat Cardiff 4-1
My next game was at the swamp where we won 5-0 with Joe getting another couple of goals.

August 1962 against red dippers (or Liverpool) as they were then known ... Neil Young got 2 in a 2-2 draw .... it was my first real season as I was allowed to go on my own .... soon learned the City way ... we got relegated.

Can't remember. It was in 1959 and definitely in black and white.

That's possibly why it's been so easy for you to give up?

Oh yes... I take incredible pleasure in walking away from a mutated monster of a game ruined by greed and corruption.

Why do so many people feel the need to claim they’re the biggest fans ever? It’s utter arrogance.
