TRUE BLUE STORIES

Steve Warrington

Well

Watching City:

beat newcastle 4-3 to win the championship

beat Spurs 4-1 ar White Hart Lane (was it the FA cup semi?);

watching Neil Young's superb FA cup goal at Wembley - I was 10.

Meeting Malcolm Allison at Maine Road while he was training one on one with big Joe Corrigan - I was 9 and big Mal asked me what position I played. I told him goalie - big mistake. He told me to get on the goal line - he hit the ball straight at me (not very hard) and it sent me skywards into the back of the net.

Seeing Joe Mercer and Big Mal and the glory team do a lap of honour at Maine Road

Watching City get trounced at Wolves 5-1 My first away game without my Dad - we went on a Finglands Coach

Playing a game of snooker against Franny Lee at Wilmslow Conservative Club just before he took over when he told me "Just keep the faith - it may take a while but I love this club"

Crying when Joe Mercer died

Meeting the 1970 glory team at Maine Road and getting a (almost )complete autographed team photo (real signatures)

Knowing that this too shall pass....................
