Posted this somewhere before, but its jolly memories, and given the current climate on here a little break from the norm. Beats the shit out of beating on Sisu, ACL or CCC. Constant wash rinse n repeat. Not exceptional stories but they make me smile when i think about them.
Used to have a season ticket regularly as a kid, always in the Kop used to stand low down just to the right of the goal, had this goal in my head for decades, favourite all time, Mick Ferguson lobbing Clemence to help us beat liverpool 1-0, i allways remembered it as a fantastic lob from 25-30yds, bear in mind i was 11-12, long long time ago, saw it a couple of years ago on tv for the first time since, what a let down, a nice chip over the keeper from bout 12yds, but nothing like i remembered it, great goal to win a great game against probably the best team in europe at the time, just not the super goal i thought/remembered it as.
Another one, Kop again, always makes me smile when i think about it, its nothing when you think of the shit that goes on at games nowadays, but as an impresionable kid it was awesome. Les Sealey in goal, dont think he was having a particularly bad game, but this young indian/asian woman giving him none stop verbal abuse, your this, your that, do this, do that, calling him everything he really didnt want to be called, you know she just wouldnt shut up, ball was up the other end, she`s giving him another volley he half turned and shouted Shut your fucking mouth you stupid cow, guess what, she did, silent for the rest of the game. Like i said nothing major.
Tommy Hutchinson had a sports shop for a short time up everdon rd, near to my old nans, used to go in regular just to see one of my city heros. City playing norwich in a classic ding dong battle we won 5-4, stood right at the front in the west end ball went out for a corner and landed right in front of me, he strolled over picked it up, spotted me, asked how i was, and proceeded to tell me to keep out of trouble, again as a young kid what a feeling.
I upset/offended Viv Anderson, he was assistant at middlesboro at the time i think, sure we had them next game midweek, hes driving down swan lane car window half open, you know how slow the traffic was, I walked over and said we dont want your kind here, he just glared at me and put his window up and carried on. What i meant was dont come here scouting us out, it just came out all skew whiff and from the look n his face im sure what he heard was your the wrong colour and shouldnt be here. Felt a bit silly walking away realising what i had said and how it came out. What was meant to be a bit of jolly banter.............
Happy memories of normal games.
Wanna share yours, simple City memories that made you smile.
