ITV highlights Sunday afternoon of FA Cup 1969.
Neil Young my first City hero.
Vaguely remember 66 World Cup final.
Celtic v Inter 67 and rags 68.
Started going with mates to East Stirlingshire and Falkirk matches getting lifted over.

My dad was at Wembley in 76 and I remember watching that game. I don’t remember going before then but did from the season after aged 7 I think. 46 years this year
That's my kind of blue I was going to start supporting them, I mean City, in 2012 but thought it was a flash in the pan. I waited a year or so before committing.I only became a City fan in 2014. When United become good again I'll become a red again.
1978 & still here

City were always my club because I'm from a family of blues. My sister took me to my first game in 1978.i couldn't imagine supporting any other team, even in the dark days. Proud to be a season ticket holder of the best team in England and all of the world.. Bluemoon.
Winning a ball signed by the likes of Niall Quinn and Keith Curle was my first CTID moment, I was 11, so late by some standards!
Dad is casually Red but isn’t a match goer or evangelistic about it, growing up in Withington in the 80s and always playing in Platt Fields it felt natural for me to be Blue.
Had a best mate who was a ‘Junior Blue’ who was always going on about the Kippax from about the age of five so always wanted to be part of it. Plus it was City who were doing stuff in my area, giving schools tickets and sending players like Alex Williams into school.
Was a lonely road in the 90s as by then I was at school in Trafford and it was a Red area and their era.
Fast forward to 2022, over 30 years from my first match, and I’m proud dad to two devoted Stretford Blues. CTID.

We also played in red and black stripes too.Quite apart from the usual stuff, my secondary school (St Pius) didn’t have its own playing fields and we graduated from the swamps of Hough End and Merseybank to have a lot of our games lessons and our school team home games on the astro pitch at Platt Lane. We felt like we were pros, had hit the big time!
