Maine Rd terrace characters

[tommyhair]

Quite a few on here have mentioned Debbie or (Kippax Debbie) as Mickey Francis spoke of her in his book. Was she as mental as they say she was and how old was she exactly?

Seems quite unique that City had a lass on the frontline. :)

I think she was mid 20's when she died. so would have been 18 - 20 when she was part of the crew. As game as any lad at the time....

she was mad, I saw her crack a few fellas

The guy in the jacket and flat cap I think he comes up from london every week, used to talk to him on the way back to town he had a 1970's blue and white radio used to ask him what the score were. He was on the big screen lasthome game just before kick off. wonder if he has upgraded to a digital radio.

Does any one remember a swedish/Norwegian bloke who gave up his job for a year moved in to a bed sit in south manchester just so he could watch city.

yes, that's Egil from Norway, I used to see him at loads of friendlies in Europe. Great bloke. he used to knock about with Alan Potter at those games.

Early 90s there was this guy who constantly shouted "Get Pointon off!" for no apparent reason, he even did it when Pointon was playing well. this was near the tunnel in the Kippax towards the North Stand, every home game wihtout fail, when Pointon was playing he would shout this constantly through the game. Fucking nutter!

He just loved City! Thats one of the tamer stories I've heard believe it or not. He'd have been 17 then, game as anything he was. Thanks Tony.
