trombone time for me last month - first game 1956, taken by my older brothers Maine Rd/Swamp alternate weeks.
Three quarters of a Century at the moment then Johnny, mind you I’d be weary of saying “Trombone time”, it has a different connotation these days!trombone time for me last month - first game 1956, taken by my older brothers Maine Rd/Swamp alternate weeks.

60 in October.
50 years on January 18 2025 since I went to my first ever game at Maine Road. Beat Newcastle 5-1 (Tueart 3, Hammond & the King.)
Had a season ticket at Maine Road junior in the Platt Lane - freezing - soon as I could buy my own Kippax.
Can’t see a time when I don’t go. Only health would ever stop me.
I thought Istanbul was the pinnacle and the love would diminish.
Nope. Already getting wound up about next Sunday!

Best friend’s father used to take us alternative weeks to Maine Rd and the Shit Tip. Even back in those days the Rags were an arrogant bunch of tossers the City fans were appreciative of good football and full of sarcastic and witty humour. I was never going to be a Red.trombone time for me last month - first game 1956, taken by my older brothers Maine Rd/Swamp alternate weeks.

Been through the grinder of switching from utd to City in 1970, then to Leeds a couple of years later, Liverpool in the late 70's and 80's, back to utd, then Chelsea before getting my SC in 2011 just in time for the Aguero goal

My namesake Geoff Hammond whose daughter is married to our goalkeeping coach Richard Wright. Istanbul will never be forgotten for the right and wrong reasons but I know a lot of Blue’s who regret not going, 3 days of mayhem, wouldn’t have missed it for the world.60 in October.

Sadly the only thing I miss not living in England is not being able visit the Etihad as often as I would like
