My first ever City game was Feb 25th 1961. I was 10 and my Mum let me go Maine Road with the “big kids” off the street ( they must have been all of 13!).
The game was against Spurs who that year were to win the first post war double. City lost one nil.
My overiding memory of the game was we were behind the goals in the old scoreboard end when two teenage girls climbed over the wall and onto the pitch to give Denis Law a large silver key for his 21st birthday.This match was just a few weeks after the 20 year old Law had famously scored 6 goals in the abandoned cup tie against Luton.
The City team that day included Steve Fleet in goal, Jackie Plenderleith and Clive Colbridge. I wonder how they remember playing with Law against the double winners!
