From my grandfather down, we’re all Blues. My Father was in the 84,000 crowd against Stoke and also the lowest 8,000 against Swindon. he’s still alive must be something of a record?
i’d grown up watching City and will never forget the 69 cup final. my Dad promised me when i was 9 he’d take me to Maine Road. So December 1970 Huddersfield Town at home it was. they were managed by the late Ian Greaves and a young Frank Worthington was playing for them. how many people remember Huddersfiels in the 1st division (as was) and that Frank Worthington played for them?
That was the start of City becoming a huge part of my life and they have been ever since. You name the game i was most probably there?
I always love this football club!

I was at that same game aged 12 but it wasn’t my first. I remember Huddersfield in their blue and white vertical stripes. I was behind the goal in the old Scoreboard End. Frank W. didn’t score that day. I know we won but cannot recall the result. I still have all my programmes so that one will be somewhere. Do you remember us beating Leeds 3-1 in the same season?

Interesting memories Andrew! I reckon your dad must hold that record – you should try and do something to claim it for him officially! City fans always make me laugh, I recall us all squeeking at Alan Ball whilst being interviewed at Portsmouth a long time ago – now were you there and if you were did you by any chance get thrown out of an Indian Restaurant in Oxford on your way home?
