Unlikely City fans

[Pubteam Lomas]

He was a year below my mum at school in Marple. Did he move down there as a kid?

Timmy Mallet's dad was a vicar in Hyde and he went to Hyde Grammar, but he was/is an Oxford fan.

Pat Sanderson former England rugby international is a blue. Talked City with him a few years back.

 

[Lichfield blue]

I thought Mark E Smith was a blue?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

A lot of Northern artists are. Lowry certainly was.
Oh and Jason Orange.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

The Katie Price of club football

Show some hart, mate.

 

[CambBlue]

Extensive and comprehensive research (i.e. 10 mins Googling whilst on the train) reveals:

James Taylor (ex England cricketer, current short arse)
John Mahoney (the actor who played Frasier's Dad)
Bernard O'Donoughue (poet)
Jim Noir (pop star. Sort of)
Trevor Griffiths (playwright)

Will Perry Sports Presenter for BBC radio. I'm sure he did an interview in the match programme last season with Gary James.

Will's definitely a Blue. He worked with me in the original City museum for a while, his Franny lee's god son and he is a great blue. He compered my Manchester The City Years book launch as well in 2012. I'm sure he'll also be on Bluemoon but probably not able to post on here - BBC staff and all that goes with it.

David Lloyd George apparently.
Born in Cottenham Street Chorlton on Medlock so my granddad told me

There's a photo of Lloyd George with Meredith and, I think (from memory), Albert Alexander which I've always assumed was taken as a one off meeting of two great 'Welshmen' rather than 3 potential Blues. This is interesting and I may dig deeper to find out more about the photo. He was born in CoM so it fits and he'd have been about 30 when we were reformed as MCFC, 40 when FAC was 1st won.

I did wonder if your granddad confused him with Arthur Balfour -local MP who went to a City game and was PM at time of City's 1904 success. He claimed to be a City fan. Possibly, then City have had at least two PMs wo have supported them.

She's a rag her dad is a blue iirc

Johnny Ball always claimed to be a Liverpool fan according to Zoe in an interview years back - she claimed her picking MUFC led to banter etc.

That chef bloke with the stock cubes

He's an Arsenal fan who did some work with City. I was going to interview him for the programme but when I chatted to him at an event in the Legends Lounge all became clear. Marco Pierre White
