The actor who played Butch Dingle was also a Blue, but didn't go very often.We all know that Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is a big City fan, but it now appears the case that his fellow Emmerdale character Paddy Kirk (played by Macclesfield born actor Dominic Brunt) is also a City fan.
There was a photo on here of the pair of them at the Burnley FA Cup game last weekend.

Yes May 1974 at White City, London. The article posted said he’d initially wanted to cancel the Manchester gig (Maine Rd) but relented (££££). I was almost 16, but my sister was mad on him… David Bowie for me!A young girl fan was crushed at the previous concert in May 1974. I didn't know anything about that particular incident, although in my defence I was almost 18 at the time, and had zero interest in pop stars whose main target audience was pre- pubescent girls.
If he was the owner at City, he'd have us buying a season ticket and then charging an extra £30 per game to choose our seat....Michael O Leary sitting 2 rows in front of me last season.
I've met him a few times through my brother in law who was in school with him and they are still friendly.
He was drinking coffee and I asked him did he want a pint, hoping he'd say, ill get this round.
He said no, it tastes like piss.
I've met him several times. Sound as a bell.f he was the owner at City, he'd have us buying a season ticket and then charging an extra £30 per game to choose our seat....
