How long have you been a City fan?

[ooh vonky vonky]

since 1977

I was seven and dragged along to watch some bloke make a comeback from injury.
It turned out to be Colin Bells comeback (against Newcastle I think?)

My only real memory of that game is of sitting on the wooden bench seats in the Platt lane... freezing my nuts off.

A few years later I became a season ticket holder and was off to Wembley (81 cup final) and I thought this is easy this 'being a City fan lark'

little did I know what kind of journey was ahead................

Only ever been City, all the family are blues. Season ticket holder for 23 years now, since I was 9 years old.

Feels as though I got interested when we got a whippin' off the Normans. But primary evidence suggests the '55 Cup Final, an' then a match at Maine Road, Sept 55 v. Blackpool. Don Revie scored one of 'em. We pasted the Tangerines 2-0. I can remember that match better than some from last season.

I realised City had hooked me when I was about 7, reading the match report in the Pink of City's win at the Swamp when Alex Harley scored a late winner. It wasn't too surprising as my mum and grandad were both blues. After much pestering I eventually got my parents to take me to both legs of the Youth Cup semi-final against the rags in 1964. That was the start of 47 years on the crazy rollercoaster that is MCFC.

1966, I liked football but didn't support or follow any team. My Sisters then boyfriend (still her hubby today) told me there was only one team to support, then warned me that they would take over my life, I laughed at him and said ok I would look into it and that was it. Now many jobs have come and gone, cars and homes have been changed and four wives traded in for better models, but City are still there driving me crazy and costing me an arm and a leg!!
I wouldn't and couldn't have it any other way!
Thanks Thomas!

Since Keegan era.

 

[scorer]

Since 31/01/68 when we beat Reading 7-0 away in an FA Cup replay - I was 7.

Stuck with them through thick and thin and thin and thin and thin.... ever since.

Saw them get beat by Wolves at Wembley, Saw them beat Newcastle at Wembley and Saw them lose to Spuds in the 1981 FA Cup final replay when the best ever FA Cup Final goal was scored..... Steve McKenzies volley from 25 yards... top corner.
