My first game was at the 10 of february 2001 at Maine Road against Tottenham. We lost 0-1 in the 89th minute by a Sergei Rebrov goal. Totally crap, cos´ City dominated the game all the time, and Egil Østenstad hit the post and Huckerby got a goal disallowed, even though it shouldnt have been. That was Spurs only attempt on the target the hole game. It was a bit frustrating.
I´ve been a Danish City fan since 1995 – so living in Denmark, being a student, didnt make it easy to come to Manchester before 2001.
My next game was the last game of the same season on the 19th may against Chelsea. A game where we were already relegated. But an incredible atmosphere – sold out Maine Road. And the game ended even before the 90th minute because City fans stormed the pitch at the referee had to call the game off before time. A fantastic memory and yet the best memory at a game i´ve had. I remember Carlos Nash was being held in “Glory Chair” by the fans all the way to the playerstunnel, and i was able to get a little piece of grass from the pitch.
The game ended 2-1 – City´s goal was by Steve Howey – from a corner i think.
