TRUE BLUE STORIES

Douglas Youngson

I saw your page on True Blue stories and thought that I'd add my own. I live in Motherwell, Scotland, and as well as being an avid Mothewell fan I also love City.

This streches way back to the late seventies and early eighties. My uncle lives in Mossley and we visit him regularly. So when I was a young and impressionable child I was taken along to Maine Road to watch City. Now my memory is bad at the best of times but I can remember playing both Coventry (3-1 win I think) and Spurs (the only thing i can remember is Joe Corrigan dribbling the ball past Steve Archibald), The rest i'm afraid is lost in the gloomy hole which is my memory.

Since then I've been a City fan through thick and thin. This is especially hard in Scotland where people wonder why I dont support a fashionable club, but I dont care, at least I'm not a Red. It is hard to get down though, especially as a penniless postgrad student. I only made the one game last season ( v Crystal Palace 1-1), But i'm planning to get to the Chelsea game on the 23rd Dec.

Thats all I have to say, except that no matter how bad they get i'll always love City.
