In the stadium there seemed to be a split second where time stopped, the last 5/10 mins were frantic and there seemed to be a palpable exhale of breath as we realised the whistle had gone for full time, as we were at the other end of the stadium we couldn’t hear the whistle and only the players running towards us indicated it. After that exhale it was pandemonium, people were in tears everywhere I compared it to 2012, my first thought was my dad at home but couldn’t get a signal to ring him until just before I got on a yellow bus (that couldve been the last time I talked to him as I thought we would die on them buses ha ha). I do t think that came across on tv but time stood still as everyone realised what we had done, I don’t think the treble even came into my mind until about 10 mins later that was just the cherry on the cake.
This is not me but just a photo I took, think his expression sums up how we all felt!

That is the question.

Blimey. Khaldoon's put on a bit of timber.
 
Some 60 years a blue it's only the second time I have cried over City Aguero ( obviously ) and CL Final sat with a lot of friends that night so I had to take myself off to the loo for a moment on my own..
Is that you in my photo?
 
No mate
But that was the look i had on my mug.
And as someone said my first thought was for someone not here my uncle Pat who took me to my first game at the age of 5
I’d resigned myself to thinking we weren’t winning that game. I was there with four close friends one of whom I’ve been best mate with for 53 years, what a night, ended up having a burger and a cup of Turkish tea in Kadikoy at 5am, no booze available but it didn’t matter. Got back to the hotel and I had a can of lager quietly contemplating what we’d achieved, been going to City for a long time, first match was 1967 when my Dad took me as his Saturday job was suspended, he used to settle bets at a Bookmakers (he was a Housing Officer during the week!) but horse racing was off due to foot and mouth disease. I count myself as a lucky fella football wise, wouldn’t swap one moment.
