Born and bred in the East Rand, South Africa. I have been a City supporter for as long as I am a football supporter. How did I, an Afrikaans South African become a City supporter? Weird story, actually! It is all the fault of a little football simulation game called Championship Manager 3. I played it back in the early 90's with a fiend. (No, not FRIEND, FIEND, although at first he may have been a FRIEND. He supports Utd!). He told me to run City, cause he thought he would get some personal pleasure beating City. I was a newcomer, with limited football knowledge, and I beat him twice that season! He stopped playing, and I kept on.
I kept on playing City through the later versions, and still is, on Football Manager 2008. SuperSport (local sports channel) televised some City games, and I started watching. I can with a clear conscience say I have supported City since 2003 (the Psycho era!), right around when Psycho took over management. To think I was a Joey Barton fan!!! However, I like to think I've been a City fan since the early 90's!
So I am the second South African from the Johannesburg area! And if I was not looking for info on the City tour to South Africa (my wife saw it on the News, told me!), I would never have found this forum!
