Pete The Badge Q&A

There is a lot I don't like about the modern game too. Also the constant sniping and lies by the media and all and sundry trying to stitch us up. I'm damned if I am walking away now though after all the barren years this is deamland. Every trophy we win is another kick in the teeth to the bastards.

I’ll never walk away completely bud, still love City, always will, and like everybody else (who isn’t called Conn) I’ll savour every moment ;-).
 
I’ve never been the same since those three defeats to Liverpool and United in one week. I might look at it again once I’ve sorted a home outside of the south east but I’ve zero motivation to waste entire weekends attending 90 minutes of football. Life’s more important.

Love this guy, seen him a few times but never spoken, weirdly, I have this really protective thing going on with him, maybe it's just me.

I too always imagine he sounds like George Formby.

I know what you mean, few aways I’ve seen a few home supporters laughing and shouting stuff, I’ll always keep my eye out
 
Pete always used to take in a bottle of Scotch to games amd swig from it. Remember a night match at Highbury in the early 90's (2-2 draw from 2 down) and stood next to him at the front. Steward came along and tried to take it off him. No chance. Pete just agreed to put it away and not bring it back out. He realised it was the last time he could bring a bottle to a game.

Used to travel with him on the special in the mid 80's too. Nothing official just used to end up sitting in the same carriage most of the time and chatting
 
The first time I came across Pete was at Maine Road,watching him place something on the top of police horse shit.Being a nosey twat I laughed like hell when I read what this little note said ... "United were here". LOL
Seen him at The Etihad and a few years ago he was still at it.Don`t know if he still bothers,but what a character and wonderful to read his Q & A session.

Yes one of life's characters for sure. I spoke to him about three years ago and he was talking about moving to Spain but he never did.
 
At some point, maybe 12 months ago, maybe two years ago, i was walking to a night match from town. I decided to walk along the canals from Piccadilly. It wasn't dark so it must have been at the start or end of a season.

Anyway, I cut down and Pete The Badge was doing the same thing, having just come from the train station, I presume.

As he is an older chap and there was only me and him there, I was conscious that I didn't want him to think I was going to mug him on the deserted canal path. I don't really wear City colours and definitely not to the extent he does, so as far as he was concerned I could have been just some dodgy bloke following him down to the canal.

I was walking quicker than him and I thought I'd get past him on the path and crack on, as you don't want someone following close behind you down there.

It's quite tight on the paths and I didn't want to get too close to him and shit him up so I went past quite quickly and then, a few steps after I had passed him, because I was rushing, I stepped on some slime and nearly went arse over tit into the canal, making a stupid shape with my arms and legs. I just stayed on my feet and then thought I had better acknowledge it. I turned to him and laughed "I nearly went in there." Having heard on here that he was a very unassuming character, I thought he would have been amused and it would have shown that I wasn't some scumbag just waiting to do him in for his lunchbox.

He looked at me like I was a total prick and just blanked me completely! Hahaha.

Ha yeah I saw him put a card down early this season....or it could have been late the season before.
