15th Sept 1976 I was aged 6 and this was the night I became a true blue. My late Dad had been going for years and was at wembley to see that great Dennis Tueart over head kick,easily the best goal scored at wembley, well after Paul Dickov.
I was bloodied at Maine road that night,the air was cool, the steam and smoke rose over that bright green pitch, and set the perfect scene, WOW!! look at those sky blue shirts I thought, my heart pounded, the hairs stood on my neck to the City theme (still does now!) I kicked every ball,and saw my hero wearing 11 (Tueart)skin the full back in black and white stripes over and over again,I loved every minute seeing CITY win 1 nil, I cried when they beat us away 2 nil! typical CITY ..thats when I knew CITY was in my blood, and there is nothing I could do about it.
I post this in memory of my late father Phil DEAR who passed away in 2001.
thanks DAD for that night!
