Your best day as a City fan?

[Corky]

The 5-1 v Charlton as the most enjoyable.

Almost 50 years watching but the semi final win against the rags was about the sweetest of all in front of the world media,, it was a bench mark, we we stronger and better than them. What a day.

I'm not sure if it was my best day but as a teenager the 3-2 win at Blackburn in the mid 90s under Brian Horton has to be up there

Leeds I think

We won as well :-)

I'd have done better but those bogs were not helping

Some day in 1966 when we won the old second division title.

It turned me Blue for life.

Yeah, I know all about the Aguerooooooo moment and that, but my best day was deciding to be a blue all those years ago.

I remember going into school the following September and pulling on my sky blue shirt as we prepared for 'games' and all my peers asking me 'what team is that?'

'City...Manchester City'

They all had red shirts on.

I've been a proud Blue ever since.

I love it, thinking back to that day in 1966. Nobody had a clue what a sky blue shirt meant, and I was walking tall as I wore it.

Tricky. Very tricky. Both title wins have been since I moved away from Manchester, so (at the tender age of 27) I'll have to plump for the Monday morning after the first derby win I can remember: The last one at Maine Road. All the United 'fans' who'd been giving it large at school the week before. I didn't even have to say anything.

Honourable mentions to QPR, 1-6 and the Hamburg QF at home in the Europa, despite going out. The noise that night was incredible.

One that often goes ignored is the day Denis put them down.

I was ecstatic.

1968 , the 4-3 win at Newcastle , never seen so many blues at an away game , and the newcastle fans were brilliant , there wasnt much crowd segregation in those days , and always remember geordies congratulating us after the game . That City team was probably still the best all round side , we have ever produced , we didnt rely on an individual player , like aguero,yaya,silva , we had eleven players who worked their socks off and had character in abundance.

True story

My dad died a fortnight before the 6-1. It was an international break and his funeral was the day before the Villa game the following week.
I was overcome with grief, but I had a ticket for the swamp and everyone told me that my dad would have wanted me to go. After all, he was a big blue and attended the 1956 FA Cup Final.

We weren’t kept-in after the final whistle and knowing that United don’t do gallows humour, I was quick to blend-in amongst the neanderthals and day trippers.
I jumped on a packed bus near the cricket ground. It was like a morgue and the silence was only broken when a Jim McDonald lookalike turned to me and uttered in a broad Belfast accent.
“Christ I’ve been coming here since 1978 and I’ve never seen us concede 5 before"
I was tempted to suggest that he still hadn’t, but my thoughts were interrupted by the bloke in front who enquired”

“Shit, did City get a 5th?”

I looked to the heavens and smiled.

At moments like that you believe in God

Outstanding post. At least once a week I watch highlights off that game on Youtube. One of life's regrets is I stayed in the house myself that day and turned down free drink because I thought they cunts would win.
