Pity he couldn't keep goal very well (As in Cup-Winners Cup v Chelsea 1971)

I did an interview with Healey in 2004. I know it's a few years ago, but this is what he said about his 'current' activities then:
I work at Styal Prison as an OSG officer and have been there for over thirteen years, but my footballing interest does continue with a goalkeeping school I run with Andy Dibble, the ex-City ‘keeper, and my son Scott. It’s actually Scott who makes it a success. He puts in a tremendous amount of work and really gets everything organised. Of course it helps that he was a ‘keeper himself, playing at York and at a good standard in non-League, and then with Dibble and myself we give a few examples of how to develop.
This is what he said about playing for City:
I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be playing for the team I loved at such an important time. I remember running out at Maine Road and feeling the excitement build up. You’d be in the dressing room sometimes and hear the noise from the Kippax. I used to sit there and think I was the luckiest man alive. If fate had gone another way I’d have been on the Kippax chanting for the team – I’d have loved doing that of course, but playing is incredible. I used to get in the tunnel ready and then I’d catch sight of the Kippax as I walked up the tunnel, and the adrenaline would build. I’d run out and the feeling was incredible.
Although I was born in Manchester, most of my family supported United, but I was different. I’d chosen City as my team because their fortunes seemed more like real life to me. One minute they’d reach the highest level possible, then they’d suffer a bad spell. That’s life and it’s important we all understand that. City’s spent its entire existence like that, and that’s why we are all so passionate about the club.
