For our 24th edition of #City30, we asked you to recall your very first footballing memory. The sights, the sounds, the smells... whatever you could remember and ultimately, the reason you fell in love with the boys in Blue!
Here’s what you came back with...
@MCFC Birmingham, 1983. 0-0, highlight was a dog on the pitch. My 3rd game was Luton. For years I wished I'd given up at that point! #City30
