November 1953 8yrs of age a sunny saturday in November. We lived in a small terraced house in Ancoats, Manchester. My uncle Eric who lived 5 doors away said c`mon I will take you to maine road. In those days people went one week United next City. This particualar week City were playing WBA I dont remember all the players but Bert Trautman was in goal Roy Paul,Bill Spurdle,Roy Clarke,Johnny Hart,Don Revie & a 40,000 crowd. We were on the Kippax before it had a roof, the result City lost 2-3, Hart & Revie were the scorers, dont ask me why but from that day on it was City. My uncle Eric said you dont pick City they pick you & here I am 57yrs later still obsessed with all things City
