Last summer on holiday in Alcudia, we met a couple in their 60’s who were West Brom ST holders, and another who were Ipswich Town.
All you have to do is mention a game between our clubs from yesteryear and recognise their better sides (both early 1980’s in these cases) and their tone changes instantly.
Suddenly the penny drops that you were around in the bad times (Lincoln, York etc) and they admit that they are envious of the football we’ve produced over the past decade. In both cases, the chaps later admitted to having a ‘soft spot’ for City as they grew up.
