So it was Spurs after all! Just told my dad and he was surprised too. He couldn't remember the Sweet Lady being a regular thing at Maine Road at all. However, he then came up with the gem:

"...but the Blackpool mascot used to have a duck."

Where that came from I don't know, but needless to say, I'm laughing like a drain still.

It's great when one item generates another query - the Blackpool "Atomic Boys" did have a duck and it's seen early in this film: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.britishpathe.com/video/birmingham-v-blackpool" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.britishpathe.com/video/birmi ... -blackpool</a>

Superb! I'll never doubt the man again.
 
We've finally got another date organised for the MCFC Boys In Blue Film Show. Details here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.cornerhouse.org/film/film-events/the-boys-in-blue-manchester-city-fc-on-film-3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.cornerhouse.org/film/film-ev ... -on-film-3</a>

Would make a great last minute Christmas Pressie for anyone you know interested in learning more about City's history or anyone who wants to see rare footage about the Blues that is not readily available.

If in doubt read the comments from all those who attended the last one. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Thanks
 
Yes, highly recommended, went last time and some great films shown and great links from gary to pull it all together. £8. bargain.
