What is the daftest thing you've seen at a City match?

Remember being at the cup game against Villa when Micah scored right in front of us at the end.

At the start of the game a load of pissed up Blues arrive with pictures on their phones of themselves with the European Cup - seems they had somehow got into some corporate shindig and helped themselves!

Eddie is my Dad. He absolutely loved that he got to sit on the bench. In fact strictly speaking up until the day he passed away he was banned from Stamford Bridge as Ken Bates gave him a lifelong ban for sitting on the bench at a game there. He used to tell me that he would have loved to have written a book about all the stories from that time, said he would have titled it "6 years on the bench but never got on". Glauber Berti was close to being able to write a similar book.

This is mad. I couldn't sleep last night and one of thoughts in my head was how many City managers let your dad sit on the bench? Big Mal and Billy Mcneil I know, not sure about Bond or Frizzel, or Benson and Book for that matter. Then I see this post. Your dad was a legend btw, I grew up with them 2 on the tele from being a toddler. Top blue who's missed by many.

Cannot remember the date (1960s) but we were at home (Maine Road) to Spurs. Joe Corrigan cleared the ball from the corner of his penalty area and trotted back to his goal with his back to the play. I think the ball landed in the centre circle where Alan Gilzean (sic) was standing, and he volleyed it into Joe's net - the expression on Joe's face was "where the hell did that come from?" as he retrieved the ball from his net. If I remember correctly Joe went on loan to Shrewsbury soon after that.
Please correct me if my memory has played tricks with any detail.

I think that was my first away game. A lively one.

A year later (?) we didn’t get in the ground. I was crushed against a wall by a police horse with my Dad when they closed the turnstiles. The gates shut and everyone steamed forward. You could see the wall bulging like it was going to collapse. Absolute chaos outside. It’s incredible to think there weren’t more deaths at grounds across the country on a regular basis.

I’m in the ‘modern football is shite’ clique but I’ll happily take my 14 year old daughter to pretty much any game and expect us both to get home in one piece.

I remember sitting in the corner between the main stand and the Platt lane, when Ali Bernarbia took a dislike to a tackle and did the full, extended edition, mexican roll off the pitch.

An unimpressed looking Stuart Pearce strolled over and said to him 'You've got hm sent off', Ali. You can get up now'.
