Was on his 40th (coach to Villa in the 90s) from the Kenilworth, went in and asked for a pint at 9am and he says to me "who the f..k are you?'" so not a good start.

8 hours later Im stood next to him as he gets nicked for being drunk.Coach delayed waiting for him and a few others outside Witton cop shop.

Then on my own birthday in 2006 Im on my way to my cousins 50th party and I go in The George in Cheadle and hes happy to see and serve me this time.We listen to City losing at Pompey together on a crackly radio whilst having a few beers.I dont think he knew my name but I knew his.RIP Blue.

Just felt I had to add this.....

Over the years I've read some pretty disparaging remarks on here about The supporters club organisation at City,both OSC and Independent.

I feel it's worth noting at this sad time ,the outstanding hard work and dedication by commited Blues like Tommy Muir Don Price Anita Britton Dave Kelly and Tina of the London branch, Pat Devon and Cornwall,going back to my involvement in the late 80s ,at a time when City were an entiremy9 different set up to what they are today.

The unseen work put in by the aforementioned, in ensuring Blues got to matches up and down the country should never ever be forgotten.

These were tough times,the footy was a different level ,obviously, but the enthusiasm of branch leaders was second to none ,and this spilled over to the fans, ensuring strong groups of happy loud and loyal Blues would sit together with their mates at away matches.
It was an incredible time to be watching City and the disappointments on the pitch only seemed to unite the fans more and I can personally remember some huge turnouts, away from home, made you feel proud to be part of it.The inflatables era for example meant away matches were one big party; win or lose ( have a booze)

Thank you Tommy Muir and others. I met a great bunch of Blues late 80s from the old Ancoats branch ran by Tommy ,all of whom I am still good friends with today. The supporters Club kept City going in dark times,imo.

RIP Tommy great bloke and true blue. Had the pleasure of travelling to many away game on his coaches from the Land O Cakes and then the Hat and Feathers in the 80s.

Very sad to hear of his passing. That clip of him telling everyone to "do one" was iconic. RIP
