My first match was on 12th October 1968 against Spurs. I missed out on the ‘ballet on ice’ the previous year and was inducted as a blue watching a 4-0 romp in the Moss Side rain. Frannie Lee got two, with one each for Tony Coleman and Dave Connor. I was seven years old and walked to the game with my dad and 14-year old brother. We stood on the Kippax and my dad made sure I got a place on the wall next to the pitch with the other young lads. I can’t remember too much detail about the game as I was completely in awe of Maine Road, the roar of the crowd and the sense of occasion. I was smitten and so began a love affair that’s lasted more than 40-years. City ’til I die!
