Well this is a 'Why Blue' with a difference because I was converted from another team from Manchester....Yes, you have guessed it, it was from Utd!

When I was about 14 I was an armchair fan of the reds and used to have arguments with City fans (i.e. my brother) until the day he asked if I fancied going to Maine Road. I was a bit dubious about going, being a red an all but I'd never been to a football match so I thought why not. It was against Coventry in the 91/92 season. I was stood in the old Kippax (God bless her) with my elder brother. I still remember not knowing the words to Blue Moon, plus all the other songs sang there. We got beaten 1-0 but I've been a City fan ever since. I believe it was the atmosphere and the feeling that everyone adores when your at a game that swung it.

I did it to a friend of mine as well, this game was away at Loftus Road in the cup when we won 2-1, and he did it to his friend and his friend's girfriend, and I've converted both my younger sisters (still working on my girlfriend, she hates football but I'm getting there)

Can anyone beat that for a great love story?
