I experienced my first City Game at the age of 4 when my dad, who was left to babysit me, instead took me along to watch City beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1. I obviously don’t remember much except that it was mid-week at night and I do remember the floodlights and crowd cheering and my dad giving me a piggyback ride on his shoulders to the ground. A few years later my dad could take me to the matches under more legitimate circumstances and I used to idolize Bert Trautmann. Dad used to take car loads of his mates from Bury just to watch Trautmann play. Have supported them through thick and thin ever since. Even from Canada we get most of their games.
