I was taken to my first City game, as an 11 year old, by my next door neighbour Mr Allen, who was a lifelong City fan. Walking to Maine Road, and then seeing the pitch from the back of the Platt Lane Stand (with its wooden benches!) still sends shivers up and down my spine! As for the match, well it was a 1-1 draw with Bury – Harry Dowd got injured, Matt Grey went in goal, and Harry then went and scored the equaliser – how could you forget that! And, if my memory serves me, The King (Colin Bell) was also playing for Bury – so I saw him even before he played for City! Brilliant, and I’m still going – thanks Mr Allen!
