When did you start following City?

1953-54 season.In the kippax near to scoreboard end,Dad about 20 yards back,his instructions were don,t move from the wall,and he would come for me.The size of the stadium,noise ,brilliant.
 
Since a little before Tuearts overhead kick. First visit to Maine Road the following year. All the kids on our street followed English teams. It was the only football shown on TV here in Norway back then.
 
When I was a kid most Scots kids had an English team they liked.
I was Liverpool but got bored being called a glory hunter so switched to City.
That would have been about 1977-78.
I didn't realise at the time just how far from glory hunting that would go for a while.
 
Mid 80's for me, as soon as I could decide really. Dad came down from Glasgow (Rangers man) in the 70's to live in Leeds, tried them but did not like the vibe. Lad in the office was a City fan and connected (Colin Bell attended his wedding), took him to a game and he was hooked so that was me as well.
 
I've been constantly glory-hunting since '55. Found a bit along the way! I remember that my Mum made me a blue 'n white rosette to watch the 55 Final in front of a seven-inch telly. First game at Maine Rd was the same year but the next season. Battered The Seasiders 2-0.
 
Started going 75/76 and got a ST year after.
I thought i was the Jinx until Stoke FA Cup Final
