Cheers Frank. also 537 on sky.

Looking forward to it. Had the pleasure of seeing the man at bredbury supporters club a few years ago and he was an amazing bloke with some fantastic stories.

True City legend and a key part of the clubs incredible history many sky football fans fail to admit exists
 
A true City legend. I can remember going to his testimonial match as if it was yesterday.
An incredible atmosphere on the night.

Amazing to think he used to travel to matches at Maine Road with fans on the bus.

That must have been an incredible evening.

What amazed me about the bloke was how sharp witted he was particular as he was conversing in a foreign language, particularly when you consider his age.

That night dispelled the myth you should never meet your heroes.
 
had this recorded and watched it recently

an amazing story even for those mad fools that are not City fans and a really great watch
