My first game watching City was in 1953 when I was age 6. My elder brother Barry took me to Maine Road and we stood behind the vast number of City fans waving rattles around at the old scoreboard end. City won 3-1 but funnily enough I can only remember two players on the Charlton side! One was a cultured left half called John Hewie, I think he was South African, and the other was their goalkeeper Sam Bartram. Nevertheless a lifelong association with City was founded and still continues from my seat in the East stand. My two sons also have season tickets but I’m still waiting to introduce a grandson to the topsy turvy world of City. Incidentally I was one of the 8000 for citys lowest attendance in George Poysers days.
