It was wed 22nd April, a cold rainy night match. I had supported city from 8 years old albeit from a distance. My older bother also supported the blues. Out of the blue my dad told us he was taking us to watch this mid week match. I remember catching buses from Barnsley to Sheffield. I was really excited to be going to my first ever football game. I don’t have many memories of the game itself and cant remember the first two goals. However I am nearly certain it was Tony Coleman who got the winner for City and sent Wednesday down to Division 2. Don’t remember much of the journey home neither other than being in a taxi rank in Barnsley watching football on TV while waiting for a taxi back to Royston. I have been a City supporter ever since although seldom an active one. However I have been to many games over the years with many ups and downs. (all part of being a City fan) Although my memories of this game are limited it is still there in my mind. My younger brother followed in our footsteps, eventually becoming a long term season ticket holder. City till I die.
