Michael's story: the man who handed out our PL winners medals.

[napoleon dynamite]

I grew up with Mike on Marbury Rd Estate Stockport. Top lad and blue through and through. He could really play when he was younger too..a wand of a left foot. He's still got the nickname "tricky"

Awesome story and really touching gesture from both Paul Dickov and the club.

Brilliant from our club, great gesture from a great club, Hope he fully enjoyed his day.

Bloody hay fever making my eyes water again.

I'm not sure if this has actually been posted on here anywhere, even if it has though this story is beautiful it deserves a thread of it's own.

Lifelong City fan Michael Crowther from Reddish has onset dementia, talking about City makes him remember certain things...



It's stuff like this which is why we truly love this club pure class, I'm sure my missus started cutting onions while I was watching... This is the sort of stuff many neutrals around the world would love and appreciate too.

Not sure why the club or CITC haven't actually posted the full video on twitter? In my opinion it should 100% have been.

If the club were worried any trolls or any 115 merchants overshadowing dementia awareness, hopefully
that wasn't case but I'm sure any wronguns would've been shot down quickly.
Here's an evening news article too...

My memory is terrible with dementia but I love Man City to bits for helping me

Manchester City fan Michael Crowther was given a special role on the day that Pep Guardiola's side made history

And just think - those despicable cads from
north London were actively looking to deny this man a once in a lifetime moment…

That is beyond class and I'm so happy for Michael and all his family and helpers, what a day for them and what an experience for Michael, Manchester City, I thought you couldn't make me prouder to be a blue, I was wrong. Thank you.

What a lovely video that was and kudos to Paul Dickov (and indeed the club itself) for their understanding and compassion. Puts things in perspective and makes me proud to be a City fan.

Wow, just Wow!

I have been working with a fella from Bolton who was has early onset dementia, he is a fucking superstar. He has spoken to a parliamentary committee and has wrote a foreword for a book on dementia that had me in tears. He speaks about the loneliness of dementia and the friends who never call any more. He is still a funny man though and it is a fucking honour to know him.

Micheal you lived the dream, fair fucking fucks to you and everyone at City for enabling it.

It has made me more proud of our club than any trophy. We are City, the pride of Manchester and we look after our own.




To see our beautiful club do that for Micheal is far more important than winning trophies, its a million times more than the 115 shit, CITC is a brilliant advert for us as a club and as a community.

That was brilliant. What an absolute treat for Michael. I didn't know who he was when I was watching it and we were asking ourselves who was it. I'm so glad I'm finding this out. Tremendous job from the Club. They do this stuff and it makes me proud that they are doing things for these communities. My grandmother passed away from Alzheimers back in 89. When little was known about it. So glad and proud the Club did this.

Don't know if anybody else noticed, but all the players shook his hand and had a brief smile....but when Jack got to him, he stopped and had a bit of a chat with him.
Love Jack Grealish for how he takes time with people who have problems (if that's the correct word) and really feels for them.
Excellent player and a wonderful person.
