My very first game was a real magical affair.My mates “uncle” Eddie found out i was a city fan, offered to take me and Alan to see a game. I was very young at the time so i cant remember who City played. From start to finish it was a brilliant experiance. Walking towards the ground the atmostphere was electric which only increased as we approached and went into the ground.Eddie who was a softly spoken scotsman pointed out the players as they came onto the field. Bert Trautman looked like a God he didnt behave like one as he like myself was a sore/bad loser,as part way through the game adecision he definately disagreed with got him sent off.I can still see clearly now he shouted at the linesman claiming offside for a goal and then at the ref. After a heated debate the ref turned away and started towards the halfway line.Bert bounced the ball in anger the lined up the ref in his sights kicked the ball so hard it polelacked the ref. What a fatastic specticle for a very young lad at his first game. I will be for ever in Eddies debt i imagine he may be long dead now.But what an introduction i’m sure we lost that day but then i have seen the highs and the many lows at city but will always remain a True Blue. If anyone knows of the game i refer to please let meknow the date and opposition .Cheers Ken Shaw
