I've no idea why this has just occurred to me, but with Micah Richards officially leaving the club at the end of last season, for the first time since 1923, our current squad doesn't contain a single player who ever set foot in Maine Road.
Micah seems to have joined the club in 2002, so I'm sure he'd have been to watch the first team at the old stadium, but unless perhaps Joe Hart went to watch a match there as a child for some reason, it seems that this is the first time in nearly 100 years that there is no connection to our old stadium from within our current playing staff.
Just seems weird to me, having grown up watching the blues there. Time marches on!! I feel old!
