Pains me to say it, but I wanted to be different. Being a young un at the time, my bezzy mates were rags - I wanted to be opposite. Sound strange I suppose, but supporting the underdog or the opposite of others has always been my thing.

two pictures in the shoot christmas annual about 1967/68
the titile of first was " United they stand " ( Man Utd just about to take free kick against City)
the second was "devided they fall" ( United scored free kick)

its the wanting to be different and not many supporters in Norfolk either then or now

School team adopted City strip though
City used to use our school to train prior to playing Norwich in early sevenites

happy days

In 1948 (I was eight) my brother took me to Maine Road and Frank Swift (Goal keeper) stayed in my mind. I Started going regular when I was 11/12 and Bert Trautman was my hero
I grew up in Bradford, Manchester (Now Eastlands) just behind the Queen Victoria (Now the Eastlands Bar)
Met my wife at a dance in Bradford Labour Club (Now MaryD's) where I got the No.53 football special bus to Maine Road
Me, my son and my grandson (15) are all have season cards

I figured out early doors if I wanted birthday/christmas presents off my dad it was the only way.

Never looked back.
