Alan was one of the best, i'v known him for over 25 years, he was part of our drinking gang...and boy did Alan like a drink....we all went watching City home and away by train and he was the star, did a couple of England games with him as well
His young son Joe..named after Joe Mercer...was a match mascot against Villa and walked out holding Demechelis's hand, Alan was bursting with pride as was his wife Linda
He was in the papers recently, he was the guy whos back was covered in the City crest and the whole Sky commentary of the Agueroooo moment was tattooed under it, he then had Sergios face tattooed on his side and got Sergio to sign it and then went straight to the tattooist and had him go over the signature, it made a few National papers and a big spread in the M.E.N.
Going to the games from now on will never ever be the same without seeing his laughing cheerful face coming through the pub door and necking his pints of cider, our lot will miss you so much Alan it's painful to even think about you not being there again
RIP MATE, from all the gang
