This is my first real memory of City, I was 12 years old, I went to the game, sat (but spent most of the match stood up I was so excited) in the North Stand, just to the left (Kippax Side) of the net about 9 rows back from the front, the sun was shining, Maine Road was packed to the rafters (our kid was in the Kippax), the singing was as loud as I have ever known and was start to finish. I remember Simpson’s goal when he took it off the foot of the keeper and then Dave Phillips whacked a 25 yard screamer into the bottom corner (the video is on You Tube). The final whistle went, fans (including me) climbed the fences and invaded the pitch. There were hundreds on the pitch carrying the players to the tunnel and the players came back out of the dirctor’s box in the Maine Stand to applaud the fans and take the accolades. It was just a dream day, one I will never forget. One of those days where everything was perfect.
