Win the league City ... for my Mum!

What a beautiful testament to your mother and the support she gave you (and always will). May she RIP.

My Mum wasn't a City fan. She was a fan of me being a passionate City fan.

She bought me my first City kit when I was 4. She bought me my first scarf. She bought me my first (and only) City mug. She got me my first City calendar ... Signed.

She followed every result so she could congratulate me or console me. Sadly it was the latter more often than the former. In fact, she would say "my son has been a lifelong City fan through thin and thinner".

My Mum was a Blackpool fan. I remember, when i was younger, being freezing cold at numerous Blackpool home games with my Mum, a couple of thick blankets for our laps and two small flasks of hot imitation bovril. On one occasion I remember the new manager, Alan Ball, being unveiled and spending, what seemed like, 10 seconds waving at the crowd after which my Mum astutely said "Is that it?" which also rang true of his impact at the club.

My Mum was not a City fan but she gave birth to one.

Today she sadly passed away. I'm numb with shock and deeply upset. I don't really know why I am posting a thread on here but in some way I guess it means I get to share with the Internet a few reasons why I loved my mum and why she loved me being a City fan. She would have loved seeing me even more as a City fan celebrating winning the league.

I will miss her terribly.

Rest in peace Mum.

Sorry for your loss Blue.

I'll echo that. My mum passed away in May 2010, and I think about her every day. I shed a few tears at Wembley last May for her (4 days before the first anniversary). RIP to the OP's mum.
 
Deepest sympathies.



Lovely post too. You got some of her personality across in a handful of lines and that takes more skill than most possess. She seemed lovely and although you'll always miss her, it will (honestly!) get easier. Then, someday, you'll hear yourself warning/ scolding/ cajoling or cheering a kid of your own and it'll suddenly dawn on you that your mam never quite leaves you.
Take care.

Oh, and we will win that f**king league for her, too. Don't you worry.
