When / why did you become a City fan?

Dad says this story didn't happen, but I think it did. I was about 4 back in the late 70s. The Manchester derby was on the telly and United were winning. I said I thought the team in red was really good and that I'd support them. Dad said I could, but I'd have to go and live somewhere else! Hence, I became a City fan.
My father was the reason i supported City, he went over to Manchester in the mid 1950s to visit family and took in a City game as was hooked from there. Was actually a wonderful gift from him as the highs and lows supporting city from mid eighties to now have beem immense. As a football fan i dont think you can fully appreciate the highs without experiencing the lows and City offer both in spades. Thats why i think it must be so boring supporting a team like say Spurs, never win anything of note, rarely if ever look like being relegated just there making up the numbers. While City is a total roller coaster ride and just keeps getting better.

My family lived in Saddleworth and when I was at school all the other kids supported the others. Being a contrary bastard all my life...........
Oh, and the beautiful way they played - like nobody else.

I am not proud saying this, but started off as a scum fan (was only 6 or 7) when they got relegated to the old 2nd division I changed my allegiance to City and have never looked back CTID
I’m not sure we can let this slide

I was 4 years old and watching a game on TV. I liked the sky blue shirts. 29 years later, still here.
My dad is a huge city fan and had gone with his dad for years and then with mates through his teenage years and young adolescent years. So, when I was born it was very much there was no choice of who to pick to support and I naturally took to loving football anyway. Both sides of my family up to my great grandparents were blues.
When I was a young lad living in Heywood my next door neighbours were a family with 4 lads, all utd fans.
One day when it was pissing it down and my mum wouldn't let me out to play football, I was sat in my bedroom looking out of the window when I saw the thing that made me become a City fan.
In next doors yard (the brothers) there was a pair of utd shorts in their grid with a big mocking bird in them.
One of the dirty bastards must of shit themselves in their shorts and left them in the grid.
I thought there and then I would never ever support utd and instantly became a City fan.
This is 100% true.
So I need to thank those scruffy cnuts from back then in the early 70s for putting me on the right path in life.
