My first City game was on a Wednesday night in the 1969/70 season against Athletico Bilbao. I was 8 years old and went with my Dad & his best mate, my Uncle Jimmy. I had just been made goalkeeper for my school team & couldn’t wiat to see Joe Corrigan in action. We were in the Platt Lane End behind the goal – it was floodlit & the pitch looked like a huge theatre. The atmosphere was great & I was passed down over people’s heads & shoulders to the front where I saw Corrigan make some great saves. We won 3-0 & I was passed safely back to my Dad & Uncle Jimmy. We got home in time to watch Match of the Day & I was amazed to see Joe Corrigan making the same saves again on my telly!!
