When / why did you become a City fan?

[adr2.8i]

My first game was in 1986 for my 12th birthday present, but I'm guessing I was a blue for longer than that due to my dad and grandad being blues.

Plenty of blues on here have been around decades longer than me. I really wished I'd seen the bell lee summerbee era, seen a few grainy black and white footage and that's about it.

Beautiful footballer. Utterly sublime in everything he did, both on and off the pitch.

Miss the little fella.

City vs Leeds 1-1 1993

First game of the season. It was a 1-1 massacre and quite incredible we escaped with a point even though they scored right at the death. I did win on a bet as Flitcroft first scorer.

I know a lot will be decades before me,
a lot will be a few years after me,
but we all love City
and we had to start somewhere.

For me I was on holiday in July 2011 (shortly before the start of the season) and I saw this on PL's greatest goals..



My jaw was on the floor. I'd never seen someone make the defense utterly stupid with magic in his boots. El Mago indeed!

So where did your love affair with City start?

That's a nice way too start following a club :-)
How old was you back then?

I find some new fans stories interesting. Some I've spoken too say it all started after the semi final win v the rags, some have said after we signed aguero. I definitely think a lot of new fans started following us due to a certain player, and let's be honest, we've been spoilt this last decade. And now Haaland is here, how many kids will now be blues!!??

Was entering my 30's back then.

I'm no glory chaser.. was never gonna be a rag, dipper, gooner but even I could see with the new owners.. we'd have a good future.

This good a future? I'd have never dreamed!

We are living in a time of Kompany, David Silva, Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland!!!!

As soon as I stepped foot on the old Scoreboard End, v. Burnley December 7th,1968, and saw the lush green turf. Tony Coleman running down the left wing has never left me.
Thanks Dad
