I grew up in Manchester where most of my family were reds but i hated that colour as a young boy so i decided at 8yrs old I was a Blue. An uncle took me to my first game – I was 10. It was away against Everton at Goodison Park and I don’t even recall the score! but left 3 distinct memories: 1) We weren’t playing in blue!! 2) the shaking of the wooden floor in the stand as people stamped their feet and clapped their hands. 3) The best of all – Seeing Colin Bell in the No. 8 shirt and the roar from our fans every time he had the ball and crossed the half way line in a break forward.
