How long have you been a City fan?

Said this before many a time. Dad used to take us, This was back when Paul Simpson, Andy May, Imre Veradi and Tony Grealish were our starlets. I once saw Tony Grealish run straight through a human man, and I thought, "That guy is incredible". He was Sabster's dream scapegoat. If he thinks De Jong is limited then he'd blow a gasket at Grealish.

I think we got beat against Sheff Wed in my first ever game. In fact Imre Veradi played for them (I think). Don't remember much about the game apart from the giving 20p to the lads on Moss SIde to look after the car. I asked my old man "Will they look after our car?" and he just said "Summat like that. If we don't give him the money, we won't be driving back". Might have been the first time I heard the 'can rottweilers blow up tyres' joke.

After that it was a weekly event at home. And this was before loyalty points and season cards, so you just turned up and got yourself as many tickets as you wanted. One day me and Pops walked over to the ticket office just past the souvenier shop. Waited a while for a ticket and Paul Moulden walsk past us. He was my favourite player at the tiem, so my dad satarts talking to him and rather than give us an autograph, we gets two ticket off him. I miss those days.
 
Been a blue for the best part of 40 years but didnt get to a game until Wolves at home 73.
 
Got my first season ticket in 1985/86 when I was 16 (had one ever since) but my Dad took me previous to that in the late seventies when I was in the junior blues and sat on the wall at the front of the Kippax.
 
since i understood what football was about probs age 8ish, think my first game was age 9/10 maybe was against crystal palace at maine road...

cant remember what score it was but its the day i realised city blue was the way for me dispite familys efforts of becoming a rag...

god bless you uncle bibby
