Helen the bell ringer

[rogdogblue]

Still reckon we should have played the sound of the bell when we had the Blue Moon Rising on the screens. Probably missed the boat for the derby, it will be "light" then.

I knew Helen very well, I have been a supporter for over 50 years and she could tell me some stories, a really nice lady. RIP Helen.

RIP Helen. Always remembered.

I remember meeting Helen at my first City match - the league cup semi-final vs Plymouth Argyle (At Plymouth) in 1974. Nice lady who was adorned with all manner of City scarves, rosettes and badges. She went on to ring her bell in that match as we drew 1-1, (Tommy Booth - I think)and won the return leg 2-0. Have listened out for that bell ever since.
RIP
