Jimmy Glennie (James bass player)
Mark Day (Happy Mondays guitarist)

Johnny Mathis when appearing at the Apollo he loved the blue white and maroon being worn by
the good people of Manchester

President Idi Amin was a season ticket holder in the North Stand and was a regular visitor to Maine Road throughout the 1970s

A bit tenuous this but my great uncle was Amin's CO in The Kings African Rifles Regiment.

Joe Donovan the drummer from Blossoms as someone already posted Tom Ogden.

The Blossoms lads have just been on MOTD Extra talking about City. Weirdly the show is being broadcast from the main pool Victoria Baths where I learned to swim

I loved that place. Like an Aladdin's cave chock full of City stuff in every inch of available space.

You'll have Blossoms fans all over you there LS, they just don't like the prefix "The", it's just "Blossoms". Pedantic in the extreme.

I saw them in Munich, Autumn 2019, small venue full of students, the drummer had the City badge on his drum skin, me and Mrs H were by far the oldest there, a young girl approached Mrs H and asked if she was the mother of one of the band members, I pissed myself laughing, she's old enough to be the Grandmother. Really enjoyed it though, their live music rocks more than the recorded stuff.

Great little place as others have said , jam packed full of character, you'd probably fit about 50 of it into the current club shop,(it got crowded with about half a dozen people in there from memory).
Used to get old programmes (Home and Aways) in there. Last thing I actually remember buying was a glossy picture of Tommy Caton for about 50p minutes after he scored a last minute winner against Arsenal!
