My first city game as a young 16 year old who had come across from Belfast.

Belfast was at the height of the troubles and to come over to England was like a holiday for me.

After travelling across on the Liverpool ferry all night then a train up to Manchester the excitement and joy of seeing Maine Road for the first time in real live was amazing.

i stood on the famous Kippax and then to see my hero the graet Colin Bell score was something else. i will never forget that day as also a fellow Northern Ireland man spoiled it for me when he scored against us – Brian Hamilton.

Having grown up in Belfast in the shadow of Man utd and Liverpool fans i still made the right decision and was a blue at last. 33 years on and still coming over to see the blues the rollercoast still continues and i would not change it for the world. Thank You City
