Good times mate. I used to play basketball or badminton some days on the court below the running track.I remember the upstairs running track and just loved those big baths……
You want to read the Sun online, full of it ,as it was when the under 21s lost to Wrexam, not one mention anywhere of City or our game against Bayern. They don't like it up em.The “old” team being beaten by Real Madrid isn’t getting huge coverage either, apart from Bellingham scoring to prove he’s already worth every penny. Real Madrid, of course, don’t buy trophies because they have ‘istry

Many of the City players were friends (best) with them through schools football and Manchester Boys. Their parents and families were friends.Maybe mate, but most of our parents or grandparents would have told us how Munich affected the whole community. As a teenager I trained at the Peter Street YMCA and there was a brass plaque to honour all the Busby Babes, who had been members, RIP.
Now Utd fans market the tragedy to such an extent that they even call their anti Glazer protest group The 58.

Big Swifty was a much loved City and England Keeper & much respected journalist & Busby a former player.
There were many ties twixt the clubs.
However, the manner in which that odious,shameless club treated some of the families of the dead remains shocking, shameful and must never be erased from history.
It sums them up......money before everything !!
I trained there as well and wrestled Joey,Fitz and a few others.Good times mate. I used to play basketball or badminton some days on the court below the running track.
They was the easy days. Wrestling Joey Gilligan and the crew in the basement was something else.
He was raised in Tooting, South-London. His accent is typical for a person brought up in an area with a large population of Black British and Asian British inhabitants.

At that time there weren't many football books written by fans. 'Fever Pitch' started it all and was a massive success leading to the film, so others were bound to jump on the bandwagon. Shindler was pretty much the next along, so it automatically did pretty well at the time due partly to the rarity value. I think he was hoping for a similar feel to Fever Pitch, but with an alternate ending where the team doesn't come good and doesn't end up on top.
