To all the Blues no longer with us

[how soon is now]

Myself my son and my nephew (different ages) who I had taken both since they were 2 years old to watch city simultaneously burst into tears at the final whistle a mixture of emotion and relief a moment we will never ever forget.

Lost my Dad last year who took me to Maine Road in the 80's. He was a City fan since the 60's. A few tears were shed at the final whistle in Turkey. A For you Dad! Love you!

My Dad took me to my first game at Maine Road in 1968 and passed away in January 2022 (actually came pretty close to doing so at the Champions League game v Spurs !! ). Our last visit to the Etihad was 19 February 2020 for the PL game v West Ham.
He loved the Champions League nights at the Etihad and booed along with the best of them !
I know he would have been ecstatic to see us complete the treble !
Thanks Dad for the wonderful memories and the sacrifices you made to get us to games in the 1960s and 70s.

Over the past few days, I've been thinking about one of our founding members in New York, Jepo. He grew up in Bramhall and moved to the US with his family. He passed away in 2017, and his family watched City win the treble with us. It was a bittersweet moment to those of us who knew and loved him as we know how much he would have loved this moment. While he wasn't there in person, he was most definitely there with us in spirit. His presence was most certainly felt.

My thoughts are with everyone remembering their loved ones.

Is there a way to like every post. Quiet emotional reading it.

Dads last season watching was the season we barely scored under Pearce. If my memory serves me correct his last game was at home to Middlesbrough. We battered them, lost 1-0 and it poured down with rain.

Cancer meant he stopped going.

He died in 2009. If we are ever reunited hes not going to believe a word I say about City!

My brother Tony died in Jan 2008 from cancer. His last game was Reading 2007-2008 2-1 (Ireland winner). The only success he saw was Gillingham.
