breaking into heaven.....

This day in 2002 the last derby at Maine road.
Who was there?
I was in the north stand for this one, for the second goal I was stood on my seat and fell through it , had a scrape mark from my ankle to my knee, on both legs! Ouch! But it was well worth it.
Great day from start to finish, was in the boozer at 930 having bacon butties and a few scoops.
 
For some insane reason i think i was in Platt Lane,cant think why.Great game.cracking atmosphere. What a sweet assured finish by Goater,side of the right foot,low and too close to the keeper for him to get down to and make a save.brilliant brilliant brilliant!

That one touch by Berkovic into the goat for number 3 was exquisite, was shitting it when they scored thought it was going to go the way of the Maine road derbies of the 90s where we would get ahead then crumble.
 
Great atmosphere that day. Thought we had no chance when Distin and Howey were ruled out by injury, but Wiekens and Mettomo came in and did a great job. Berkovic was superb.
 
I was in the Kippax Upper towards the North stand end, first derby win for 13 years following the 5-1, great occasion that confirmed we were finally back competing somewhere close to the top teams after the slide in the second half of the 90s.
 
Interviewed by French TV before the game . Being effluent in most languages I explained that they wore red and were Wellington, we wore blue and thus Napoleon and today the French would win Waterloo. Pathetic I know, but it pleased the foreign chappies no end.
 
As a 6 year old, this was the first derby I ever saw, albeit on the TV! Really cemented me as a city fan
 
As soon as Goater takes it off Nevillle's foot in the corner (1:45 ish), there's a guy in a white jacket towards the top left of the screen in the temporary seating who stands up immediately, i was a couple of rows behind him i remember (cos he got very excited very quickly). Happy day that.
 
What a lovley birthday present that was from City
 
In November there is ONLY 1 date to remember and is the 11 11 11 .

In 48 hours time 100 years ago .

NO smart answer,s please .
 
Let’s not remember the 10th of November. Without doubt the worst birthday I ever had. A Thursday night. My dad buried his match ticket in the ground of the flat I had above the Arndale.I often wondered if they found it when they blitzed the place and built the new Next etc. One used match day ticket. One shit night.
 
I was in the Platt Lane and it was a fantastic atmosphere. It will haunt that mug Neville for the rest of his natural.
