Mike Doyle anniversary

[Vienna_70]

R.I.P. Mike.

A true City legend and a giant of the club.

You will never be forgotten.

My dad told me that in the build up to the team collecting the trophy on 13/05, the first people he thought of were Mike Doyle and Neil Young.

Consider myself lucky to be of the era when Mike Doyle was in his pomp RIP

Fabulous player. He would have been a starter in today's line up!

Your Dad was my boyhood hero, Scott, who I got to know personally when I lived in Ashton ... and a top geezer to boot... the eulogy both you and the nipper delivered at the church service had me in as many stitches as it did tears and you both are a credit to him. On May 13th I was thinking of both him and my Uncle, a massive blue, who died at the same young age.

Young 'uns who never saw Doyley play.... think Vincent Kompany but from round here, 15+ years in a City shirt, 5 (that I can count) major honours, scored quite a few goals and with passionate hatred of the rags that pre-dated many of our own fans' hatred of "that lot"..

Six years ago now. Nice piece from Simon Curtis here:

The man who fronted up to the entire Stretford End - and they backed off.

Not forgotten.

Got out of his car on Manchester Road Denton and chased after 3 rags who'd been giving him shit.

Not many rags in Denton.......even less after that !!

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

In the middle of his book, Blue blood. Tragic how the drink got hold and destroyed him. A true hard bastard who loved, lived and breathed City..and shat Ushited!

A truer dyed in the wool blue you couldn't wish to meet!
