Saw him the other week.
He once started sayying really personal stuff to me on a London tube, like "You live on Langdale Avenue, don't you?" and "You're 26, aren't you?" and all this. Whilst we knew each other's faces, I couldn't believe he knew all this stuff about me.
Then he gave me my wallet back.
Also was once in the Moon Under The Water with him after we'd been relegated.
He got his cock out and pissed in the middle of the pub in front of hundreds of people.
Eds said:Re Debs was she the blonde girl who actually moved house to be nearer Maine Rd?? She was always first in the queue for tickets and then she nipped home for flasks of hot drinks. She used to go every game in the 80's and 90's..........If it is her she couldnt have been that old, very sad

His nick name was Dicky Mint...I think!...still around now. He was from Glasgow originally and bought a house almost next to the ground...a City legend.

I used to sit just right of the North stand near the corner flag...half way up. There was always a trampy looking guy who'd stand up on his own shouting ''cittttyyyyy..........Cittttyyy''. At the same time he'd spit everywhere shouting it then just start going mad. I can just picture the bright red face of his.
Anyone else remember him or am i on my own?

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

remember in the early to mid nineties they were raffling a signed city in the Prince of Wales pub in broughton(Terry Phelan donated it)for some charity and that wanker thought it'd be a good idea to lift it...........nice guy

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....

uweuweuwe said: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.
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.
