My first game was when I was 4 years old and it was at Maine Road against Swindon Town in 1999. I was sat in the Umbro Stand with my dad and City won 3-0 with Robert Taylor, who I think was making his debut for City, scoring his first goal – a fairly weak shot that the Swindon Town goalkeeper somehow allowed to squirm under his body. My dad mentioned that as the players were warming up before the game I was cheering every time a shot went into the net past Nicky Weaver (I obviously hadn’t realised that the game hadn’t started yet!). I have been to City many times since and though I loved Maine Road, Eastlands is my preferred ground.
