I’m going. As of yesterday afternoon they still had a “few” tickets left. I understand that Buzzer asked for the audience to be kept to a low number so he could talk to everyone. He’s a class act.

You're flying in from Pearson, to go to an event in Bramhall? I'm impressed.

 

[pride in battle]

Convenient it's being held in a nice, quiet place like Bramall. Not that I'm cynical and I appreciate he was a wonderful player for City but the meaningful questions won't come thick and fast will they? It will just be one old bloke talking about his mate to the gentle 'cheshire set'. Just like with Swales the utter fuck ups made will be swept aside with no explanation. Those of us who were at Stoke City for example at the climax will never get closure or even any sort of answers to a hundred questions.

Hundred questions ?

Anyone not able to go can order online and Mike will sign a copy before the post it.

That would be testing even my devotion. I live here now.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Nice turnout for the event, Mike is here with his wife and Franny’s wife and kids are also here. Just waiting for the book signing to finish before the Q &A’s

 

[OntarioBlue]

Final report, Tommy Booth and Stan Horne also turned up. Great event

Was anyone old enough or lucky enough to be at St James's that day?

Oh, yes!

I lived on that memory for years. My Dad was with me and only saw 2 titles in his life. I''ve seen nine, just the '37 one was too early.

I would have loved to have been there. I'm ordering aa copy. Glad you got the extra guests as well - great that they turned u.

About 10 years ago, I was on holiday in Tenerife and became pals for the week with Tommy Booth - he's got thousands of stories about that time, and all his words - and Buzzer's - are usually heartfelt, and often hilarious. Never met Stan Horne, but saw him play when i was a nipper.

Just on a kind of similar theme - I've got a book out this week but it's not about City or Football. It's about 9/11, and tells you of an untold Manchester connection. Hope the mod's won't mind - look on Amazon for Parallax 9/11 Part One: The Silent Assassin. I hope there'll be more in it for you to like than dislike.

Support a fellow blue!!
Cheers!

The words "Iconic" and "legend" have been cheapened through overuse in the 21st century.

However, that man, that photograph...

Was anyone old enough or lucky enough to be at St James's that day?

I have my dad's copy of The Pink.

Yeah was on a coach organised by my dad from the Windmill pub in Denton On the way back we stopped at a boozer in Leeds, although I was confined to the coach with lemonade and crisps. The adults were sing “Big daft Jack….” to the locals no aggro though
I think James H Reeves claims to be in that picture
