Happy Birthday Mike Summerbee MBE

Happy Birthday Buzzer.
Never saw him play live,but watched countless old footage of City from the late 60s early 70s when the Great Man was part of our dangerous attack. The Newcastle away 1968 footage stands out,the day we won the title....what a tough place to go and get 3 pts...utd the reigning champions were at home to Sunderland that day and the MoTD cameras went to old Trafford,where the League trophy was...utd lost 1nil.......and City with Bell Lee and Summerbee fought tooth and nail in a ding dong match in front of a hostile home crowd ...to win 4-3 and win the title.

What a moment !

Met Mike personally a few times, shared a plane flight to Dublin with him as he went over as the city representative at Dublin Branch 20 year anniversary do at The plough.....great night ,and we all ended up doing the Conga around the hotel ,Mike and his missus in tow,a great night..Summerbee was fantastic company
Blue to the core,one of the best footy nights of my life.

Great player,great person.

I was at St. James Park and the Newcastle fans were fantastic. They wanted us to win the league and were almost as happy as we were at the final whistle.
 
Happy birthday Mike ..remember him telling the story of when did you know it was time to retire,Mike replied when the linesman was running past me along the touch line..
 
Only met him the once and I got to say I thought he was a right miserable old sod. nice to hear from other people that is not the case. Happy birthday Buzzer.
Me and the Mrs bumped into him outside Brighton after our title win, he was sound chatted posed for pictures. Maybe you caught him on a bad day :-)
