I had been a fan of City as a schoolboy in the 60’s reading their exploits in the newspapers but mainly as a reaction to my dad being a Utd fan but did not actually go to Maine Road till I was about 14yrs when a school friend Steve Garner and his dad took me. We used to always park near Hough End and walk through the park to the ground. I remember with genuine amazement walking into the stand and seeing the size of the pitch, how green it was, and how big Joe Corrigan was, he filled the goal. We got beat of course 2-0 I think but that did not matter I knew then that I was hooked. There really is only one City and once bitten thats it, you are hooked for life, good times and bad.
