I’m sure you can imagine Northern Ireland was quite a turbulent place to grow up in during the 1970’s, the community relations branch of the old RUC and Army used to organise trips to England on a regular basis for teenagers to remove them from what was going on in the towns and cities. Being a 13 year old City supporter I jumped at the chance to join one of the trips which was heading to Maine Road. The game itself was a blur as I tried to take in the surroundings and the atmosphere, we won 2-0 and I think that win put us to the top of the old first division. It really was am unforgettable weekend.
