Swinton Branch of the OSC used to give guest speakers a LS Lowry mug and a packet of Uncle Joe's Mint Balls to guests as a small gesture of thanks for visiting the branch. Apparently he used to live a short distance away from the branch on Station Road.
Mint Balls? Not a bloody clue l am afraid.

"Uncle Joe's mint balls keep you all aglow, give em to your Grannie, and watch the bugger go" etc.....
 
Sure I read somewhere that novelist Anthony Burgess was a blue. He's most famous for a clockwork orange, 1985, the Malaya trilogy and earthly powers.

Born in harperhey, went to school in Moss side, xaverian college and the university of Manchester. Unless otherwise stated I'm calling him a blue!

Edit, was taken by his uncle to a match in 1928...... at Maine Road, obviously! He wrote later that centre forward McCabe's reputation a great striker was met with considerable cursing. He'd love the match day thread!!!!!

Ironic that the actor who played one of the most well known characters in A Clockwork Orange (Dim) was Warren Clarke who was also a famous City fan himself.
