Good stuff on here. I go back a long way but i can put faces to names for only a few. The stories about the lasses made me laugh. Remember a couple of games at Maine Road near the end of its days there was an American woman with a City tattoo. You get all sorts.

it was against luton in a 3rd game after 2 draws in league cup, think we won 1 - 0 lee scored , then got an hat trick against the rags in same season , and was leading goalscorer at old trafford for a while that season
