Oh, and on the positive side, City winning everything that can be won!

And these are just the major events I could think of off the top of my head.

She deserves an incredible amount of respect and I hope the club have something planned for her.

Happy early birthday, Mary! I hope lads hammer the rags for you!

The fall of the Wall.

The end of apartheid.

Happy Birthday, Mary. Best wishes from Mrs Vienna and me. We hope you have a great day.
 
What a wonderful life, she's a very special woman. I feel blessed to have lived just over half that, taking the ups and downs of being a City fan into consideration.

Happy Birthday!
