It was the 12th February 1955 that as a 13 year old I went along to see my beloved Manchester City for the very first time. It was at Old Trafford and was back in the days when you queued to get in paid cash at the turnstile and stood Red & Blue side by side without battering each other. This was an awesome introduction to City who ravaged United 5-0 on their own turf and was the third win of the season against the old enemy having already won the league game and FA Cup game at Maine Road. It was the ‘Revie Plan’ that screwed United with goals from Hart, Fagan 2 and Hayes 2. Roy Clarke also scored a screamer which was ruled out for offside. 53 years later and Blue blood still roars through my veins and good times are coming once again. Yes 12th February 1955 was the start of this passionate love affair and without doubt was a defining moment in my life.
