TRUE BLUE STORIES

Samuel Green

When I was three years of age, I moved to L.A. from Berkhampstead (near London). My father had always been a great City fan from our 3-1 cup victory over Birmingham. He had grown up in Manchester and went for the blues. My uncle unfortunately chose United. A City and United fan in one household though, did not go down well!

So, while we were in L.A., my dad always brought me back a City mug or cup from England. I obviously had know idea who they were though. I was made a blue by my father then in 1993, when we returned to England. This time we went to London to live. For four years now I have followed the English, and become a great fan. Some people think the it's incredible that I know so much about the game, when I am so new to it.

My grandmother still lives in Manchester and we go up there about every two to three months. We always visit Maine Road though, of course. I see most of the away games in London. I also went to the famous 4-1 victory over Oxford.

The best player I have seen in my four years in London has to be Gio. The best goal was his against Southampton, but the overall best I've seen was Tuert's in the 1976 Leauge Cup final.

I am pleased to be a True Blue though and can't wait until be return to the Premiership. As for my Uncle, I still think we're the pride and glory of Manchester!
