Man City's first result of your life

The 1976 Football League Cup Final, took place the day after i was born…

My Grandad (god rest his soul) declared it was a sign and we’d have a glorious future from here on in. Went really well for the first 35 years!! ;)
 
Lost 2-0 away at Nottingham Forest, in Nineteen Hundred n Sixty Seven not ere.gif with Mercer at the helm n Allison riding shotgun.
 
12/11/1988 (I was born 2 days earlier)

We beat Watford 3-1 at home

 
First competitive match was with Leeds 1-1 draw at Maine Road 14/08/1993.

I was born on 15/05/1993 on FA Cup final day.
 
I popped out all fit, healthy & good looking on August the 15th, 3 days later We lost 8-1 away at Wolves & dad wanted to put me up for adoption!
