The guy who ripped his season ticket in front of the Kippax

[cheddar404]

Not sure if it's my memory playing tricks but I seem to remember the whole stadium singing city til I die or stand up if you love city (can't remember which) after he'd left the pitch. One of those moments where it feels like everybody in the stadium joining in.

Fifteen years ago City lost at home to Bury to spell the end of the Frank Clark era – things are very different now

Remember how far we have come. It is a sentiment which has been bandied about by the more sober, reflective City fans as the Blues come to terms with the reality that the Premier League trophy is slipping away.

Valentine's day 1998. My birthday was the day before and my then girlfriend had travelled up from Wiltshire for both events, a romantic weekend. She wanted to go to the game as she knew how much City meant to me and wanted to share that with me ( Bless. )

I remember just after halftime she turned to me and said incredulously, "This is awful and I know nothing about football. How do you watch this rubbish every week????" I had to agree. She found it hilarious when the lad ripped his season ticket up right in front of us lol.

The guy ripping his ticket was the 2nd best thing that happened. The 1st was David Makin going on radio and calling it as it is afterwards.

Was it this goal?

Certainly was :)

This for me was an iconic moment for City fans. The guy did what everyone was thinking at the time and couldn't handle watching anymore of our performances.

Does anyone remember it? Does anyone know the guy? Where is he now?

I don't feel it was Iconic myself mate, I remember watching him and thinking "What a Knob" some of the replies on here seem to confirm it.
Really hope he's happy in Southport.

It was actually my birthday and I applauded him for ripping up his ticket. I was sharing the season ticket with my brother at the time, so I got the honour of watching that borefest. When anyone says that our football was the worst under Pearce I would say to them, "You obviously weren't there for the Bury game."

Was unreal. 0-0 / 0-1 over and over again / no goals / no hope just a stupid cuddly toy the tool had with on touch line!

Forgot about that! Remember listening to it in the car on the way home. He certainly didn’t hold back!

I’ve only just realised you’re all talking about the Bury game in ‘98 or whatever.

I thought you were on about another guy who ran on the pitch and did the same thing sometime in the 80s.

He didn't did he but I'm glad he did.
It certainly needed saying."

It was voted the worst ever game in our history on some website and I probably wouldn't argue with that. Mind you a 0-0 draw at home to Sheffield United under Pearce, on a bitterly cold day, comes close. The one game I contemplated fucking off at halftime. At the final whistle I wished I had.

The only game where I didn't even bother coming back from the concourse for the 2nd half. Just stayed drinking and having a chat with my mates (we were far from the only ones).
