My Dad took me to City v Middlesborough on Feb 18 1950 and this is the first game I can remember. We stood on the corner of the Platt Lane and Main Stands level with the goal line and my memory is of Bert Trautmann making a great leap to save a header from Wilf Mannion. They were both distinctive blonds and the programme notes for Mannion say that he was an automatic choice for England and one of the finest inside forwards in the game. I found one of my friends selling the very programme on ebay last year and pretended to bid a huge amount for it and he let me have it for free. There are other memories of being passed over peoples’ heads and sitting on the track with a huge sergeant complete with stick watching over us. Happy days.
