The equalizer in 99, proper out-of-body experience for me!
I was hugging, giving (& receiving!!) man-kisses to my bestie for ages and looked up to see the heaving mess that had become our end and there was ........... my bestie and his family, some 15-20 rows back!!
Apparently, i was subsequently told that i set off like a whirling banshee when PD's shot hit the back of the net and flung myself into some random chap just before the pitch (thank gawd!) and celebrated for what seemed like 10 minutes (thinking that it was my bestie who had, like me, gone through thin and thin with City) !
Whomever you are, fellow blue, thanks for putting up and indeed joining in, with my greatest ever celebration with my beloved club ........ and there's been quite a few!
I emigrated to the US in 2000, so have not seen (live) our successes since and having served my penance since 1967 when i first started attending Maine Road, i feel somewhat cheated. Almost like that very plain dull girl you dated and ending up dumping back in high school........... who then went on to become an absolute stunner :-(
