Chrimbo 1981. I was 8 and badgered my mam n dad for a long sleeved City shirt( aka Wembley 81 kit) Can you imagine my disappointment when I unwrapped the box and in it was a long sleeved full kit, but the fucking away one !! I was ill. How could they do this to me!! I had a little tantram, got sent to bed for 20 minutes then come down and pretended to like it. Within a hour of wearing it, I loved it! The next day, I wore it whilst listening to City beat Liverpool at Anfield 3-1 then I wore it for the Wolves game when we went top of the league a few days later. By the end of the school holidays that kit fucking stunk!! My mam had to peel it off me. I thought we was gonna dominate football from that point on.. Mind you, I've always been a simple fucker !! For the record, I vote for the 81 home kit which I never owned.
