Not strickly my first game, as I’d been going since 1967. It was however my first game as a Policeman. And I remember it so well. I was sitting to the left of the goals at the Platt Lane end and was watching a game, against whom I cant remember. I do remember City scoring, and out of the corner of my eye I saw the police man next to me rise.. “Great” I thought, “another blue” So i lept up and arms aloft cheered and shouted for all i was worth until i saw him facing the crowd, and realised thats what i should be doing… The fans near by gave me a little ear ache, but in good hummour and as i was OBVIOUSLY a blue, it was ok. I left the ground after and directed the traffic from Maine Road onto Claremont Road. – Chris
