Nice to see a local lad as one of the management team once again.I think Brian Kidd was born in Collyhurst,a stones throw from Eastlands.
When he was at United in the late 60's he used to play golf at North Manchester Golf Club alongside Victoria Avenue East and also adjioning our school fields.Me and all my City pals used to give him loads of abuse about being a red bastard etc.
Jump forward 8/9 years and he's now at City and one of our heroes.We used to walk home from the pubs in Middleton,past his house on Kirkway,Alkrington,and now we,re outside his garden singing "Kiddo,Kiddo,Kiddo","Brian Kidd walks on water" etc,and kneeling down on the pavement doing worshipping gestures.(He probably wasn't home at the time but we weren't to know that.)
I attended a couple of Sportsman's dinners where he has been a guest and he is very shy and reserved,but he seems to be well respected by people in the game,so I think we have got ourselves a very experienced and knowledgeable assistant manager.
