This is a great thread.I think I give a little more backing for our home grown kids.
Our own boys!
They've been at City for years & years, they go through all the emotions before we even see them in the 1st team
Getting signed as a kid - Signing for City! Amazing
Will I get kept on?, so & so is better than me, I've been subbed this week. All those doubts
That 1st pro contract. Ive made it
Being roughed up in the reserves by a big old meathead
The first call into the squad, sitting with the guys youve skivvied after for seasons
How proud your parents are.
The adulation after your first goal
Despite all the grief (me included) we've ever given a kid (BWP, Ireland,Flood,Ingrham, Mason, Whitley, D Brightwell) I love it when our boys come through & do the business......
