I am 51 yrs old from originally Worcestershire now living in Aylesbury. I have been a City fan from the age of 9. I have been to several matches in the past but dont have many chances to see the City. i have been with my 2nd wife for the past 16yrs but only married her in March 2003. She is a Baggie fan and for a treat i took her to a one of the last matches at Maine road where she sat and watched the match US v WBA from the make shift stand made from scaffolding, I remember it being a freezeing cold day, the wife was happy cause her team won.
Now for the spooky thing but true. We visited some friends last week 17/18th January 2009 back up in the midlands we had’nt seen them for 13 months and stayed over. On the Sunday 18th we went to Bescot Market which is held at Walsall F C football ground. Whilst walking round the stalls donning my new Man City coat one marketeer said to me Arh a Man City supporter I;ve got just the thing for you, thinking it might be a cheap City shirt he pull out a box with MCFC motif on, inside was a sheet off paper with ex city players signatures on a photo of Maine Road ground and a book full of photos from the final season 2002/2003 played at Maine road, he told me that the selling price for this was originally £120.00 he had been selling them for £40.00, he let me have it for a fiver. I bought it. On the way back I was flicking through the book and noticed on one of the photos God and behold was My wife and me sat in the make shift stand.
It was if that book was destin to come to me.
CITY TILL I DIE.
