Your City Story

Sorry it wasn't gerry Booth in the Dustbinmen in 1969 it was Graham Haberfield.He was Coin Bell and Man city mad. They even went to Main Road a couple of times. You can watch the hole series on YouTube

My story is to long to tell. But with the departure of City legend Colin Bell RIP His biggest fan was actor Gerry Booth from the TV series The dustbin men. PIGGIN COLIN BELL.

I joined city December last year and I really love everything about this great Club. City is the best Club in the World..

Where to start. In response to your article on the the great BERT TRAUTMAN, lets give it try, Growing up in the McAlinden household in post war Salford, like all boys I was football crazy. My father Robert and his brothers; John, Danny, Dick, and especially Gerard were all avid City fans, My dad and uncle Gerard attended every home and away game when possible. So when old enough I was taken, along with my cousin Bernard [ uncle Gerard's son ] to all the games and so became became a life long blue. In 1955 as a 9 year old I got to go to the cup final. Like many supporters I cried my eyes out at getting beat by Newcastle. The following year no tears just big smiles. Again being present at Wembley and remembering what a great hero Bert was to everybody, not in a million years could have imagined that six years later, I would be a 15 yr old apprentice at City. Two years later, at the age of 17 I played for City reserves and Bert, who was obviously close to the end of his career was in goal. Personally football has afforded me some great memories and at at 74 I'm still an avid city fan. even though I have resided in the USA since 1976. I still call my cousin's Bernard [ season ticket holder for over 50 yrs ] along with Kevan and Brian all in the UK to discuss every week without fail City's latest match, hope you enjoyed my Bert Trautman experience I think it's a cool story. bobby mcalinden

i have been a city fan since i was 5 years old and i am 63 years old one of my best moments was meeting big mal when i was 11 years old down at main road as i wanted to know how city trained and he took me and my dad inside the ground and there was colin bell and he was running up to the top off the kippex stand and he said that is the standard you have to get to and then laughed and colin came over and shuck my hand and i went to school the next with out washing that hand and i remember having my photo took with tony book in wembley 1969 with the FA CUP and going to wembley in 1976 with my now exwife who was about 5 month pregnant with the best daughter in the world to me then wembley 1981 against spurs both games and wembley in 1986 and i took my daughter to her first wembley trip in that what was called the full member cup against chelsea which we lost and when we left main road to the new ground i went for about with my present wife but due to health reason now just follow from our home in grimsby but we will always be blues 😀

I became a fan while a season ticket holder with Leeds, and saw them in FA Cup final of 1969. in the mid 70s. I went abroad to work and travel in 1975 in Holland, Germany, Spain and Australia. When I returned in 2002 I has become disillusioned with the men's game and started to watch a few games of the women, and in 2014 became a fan of MCWFC, and never seen a live men's game since. I reckon the women's game to benow how the founding fathers of the game, here, intended it to be.

Been a city fan since the age of 9

Been a Blue for 20 years when first met my husband. My favourite moment is still that Aguero goal- you know the one! Was lucky to be right behind the goal that day. Best day ever.

Its such a great honor for me to be a City fan , im very proud to be part of this Skyblues club...Cityzens all the way !

There were two tv’s in our street in 1956 so half in our house and half of the street in the other. I was put in front of the tv with) and a bottle of Dandylion and Burdoch and told to be quiet, I watched as City beat Birmingham 3-1and Bert Trautman the hero was injured and nobody knew how bad it was. 64 years later and “STILL” a blue with many memories some good and some not so, the last 51 years have been a supporter from 26,000 k’s away in NZ and only in the last 20 years have we had comprehensive and competent coverage. I watch all football but I am blue through and through, Peter Doherty was a distant relative and my son has the same name, my wife says I love City more than her😍😍 not true (the same☺️) seriously though my love of football helped through some bad times. City have always been a family club and long may it stay the same.
