Thought it was a day game definitely a different one a few years before , but I remember the keith curle equaliser, rammed that match.

Drank that much in those days, they are a bit of a blur.)

It was a midweek fixture. I’m almost certain of that. White absolutely did Bruce for that penalty. Went fucking mental behind the goal when Curle scored that goal.

Brilliant night.

David White could have won it if he hadn't had sliced a shot wide at the end

I was in the paddock with my mates and Paul Nolan wearing a Leeds shirt.

That's how fucking strong in numbers City were in there that night.

When Curle scored Nolan stood on the fence between the paddock and Stretford End and was going mental.

Craziest night ever had at a football match. They couldn't believe it - Mikey Williams had sorted me and my mates out for about thirty tickets the week before.

Nolan was protected on the way out by Mikey and a ton of Blues, hilarious.

I got my ticket for that game off Mikey Williams!

He went far too soon.

Yep, he always looked out for the younger lads from Moss Side, making sure his crew never took the piss on tickets.

He bought the City chippy on Claremont Road and was a very smart operator.

Bizarrely, I was at the game when Rooney shinned it and afterwards we walked back towards Sale and got talking to Ian Brown from the Stone Roses and his blue supporting brother.

Brown brought up Mikey's name when told him I was originally from Moss Side. Used him to move loads of tickets and claimed Mikey had 30-odd properties when he died?

His brother 'Pebbles' was still doing tickets inside the bookies near the swamp a few years back?

Mikey was my go to guy for tickets for big games, if my old man couldn’t deliver the goods. He was reliable and didn’t take the piss on prices either.

Manchester led the way on touting back then and it really pissed me off the way legislation subsequently moved against working class lads simply using the forces of supply and demand to get off their arses and earn a few quid; especially given all the parasites that live off the game today.

A little while after Mikey passed, but a mate of mine went to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002 and saw a few familiar Mancunian touts plying their trade and taking the Yank ‘scalps’ to the cleaners. Respect.


Never felt more proud to be a Mancunian!

Was it the 1-1 game when Kieth Curle scored the pen and carried one of ours back towards the centre circle? Loads of us in the paddock that night with a big police circle round us just letting us get on with it :)

PS - David White should've won it for us near the end but totally fluffed his shot if I remember rightly

Didn’t we have a player sent off that night?

Dissa Pointon, IIRC.
