My first game was City hosting the rags in '68. Unfortunately, we lost that battle but won the war that season. I fell in love with Colin Bell....almost literally; photo on my bedroom wall and everything.
My mates said that made me gay. But, then I fell in love with Princess Anne at the '69 Cup Final (my 2nd game) and had the Cup Final program photo on my wall next to Colin. Weird, bi, or just bad taste in women?
We grow up and accept what we did when we were kids was sometimes ' growing up' and a bit strange.
But I never lost my love for that man and what he did for City.
We all know about his vision, energy and passing ability. And he scored every kind of goal. But he was underrated as a striker of the ball. I agree with Bert's neck. lf he could have played on today's pitches he would have been a different level.
