Most surreal ending to a game I can remember.

I was there at Colin Bell's comeback game (loony toon army, boxing day '77). 0-0 at half time. Bell was brought on as a sub for the start of the second half, and I swear to anyone on here, I've never heard Maine Road make a noise like it (even when we scored against the vermin). I was 15, and I shed a tear that day. And we went on to win 4-0 as well!

There are a few unbelievable memories, but this has to just about pip it for me. It was only about my 5th game. I remember an old boy in the Kippax on the floor and all the City fans making enough room for him and helping him to get up thinking he had fallen over. He shouted 'fuck off lads, these legs wont handle another goal, leave me be leave me be!
 
I was there when John Burridge became the oldest player to appear in a Premier League game.

Anyone know if his record still stands?
 
I remember the first time the Kippax was segregated with an iron fence, to seperate home and away supporters. Although this was not used for every home fixture, mostly the whole Kippax was Blue. I think it was the winter of 1975. I stand to be corrected, too many lager's have flowed under the bridge,lol
