liverpool 10-0 1995

[andyhinch]

funnily enough, these 2 games really brought my attention to city.

Growing up i was never into football that much (rugby is king in my village see boyo), but in august 1995 my long term girlfriend dumped me (the biatch), and to ease the pain, i ended up going out on the lash with my mates again. most were liverpool or united fans, but these 2 games and watching kinkladze brought me to city.

been hooked ever since

I was a regular goer but think that was the last hook

i remember 1st game getting to Maine Road for the coach and finding out it had broke down, when we finally got a replacement we got in just as John Scales smashed in number 1, we held out and played ok for a side with 2 goals and no wins all season, last 15 minutes though we caved in, id already bought my coach and match ticket for saturdays return for a league game, got back home and my mum who was a match going blue in the 70s told me i shouldnt bother with the saturday but i said i going, cant get any worse mum, D'OH

well after 5 minutes we were 2 down plus Mcateer had hit the post,my claim to fame was being the chubby young man putting 2 fingers up at Redknapp after his free kick had gone in off Curle, 2 down at half time,Kinky was stretchered off then they got 4 more by hour mark, just to take piss they then bought Collymore on,we sang "were blues and were proud of it" which the kop clapped us for, then we sang "Alan Ball is a football genius" we got same reaction we'd recieved at forest 3 weeks earlier , a smile and a wave then he told media he'd enjoyed the game, not as city manager but as a fan of football,twat,at final whistle
Rosler threw boots in crowd,it felt like he was saying goodbye

I couldnt make york away so when people question 2where were you when you were shit" i remind them of these harrowing 4 days

Did anyone do these 2 torture trips?

Me I'm afraid!!!
