Beating Villa 4-1 away but through my eyes of an 7/8 year old sat in the Villa end (bottom tier of the side stand the away fans are now in)

My 1st CCFC game in '95 v Chelsea just to see what got me hooked that day & why the hell 20 years on I'm still going!

And 6-2 v Derby last game at HR as that's the final game I supported my club at a 'proper' home

FA Cup final.
4-3 Spurs 1986 when Regis scored the winner in injury time.
3-2 Arsenal 1999(?) I have never seen a City team look so good, the score flattered Arsenal.

I feel sorry for young fans.

On second thoughts maybe bin off the Derby game as our squad was garbage for a more enjoyable game involving the trio of Dublin, Huckerby & Whelan!!

Tried to pick a game from different eras so....
87 cup quarter final, I think it was the best we played that season
97/98 Bolton 1 Coventry 5, Huckerby, Dublin & Whelan on fire
77/78 Coventry 4 Man City 2, night game, 2-1 down with 10 minutes to go, Ferguson hat-trick, Wallace with other and of course Tommy Hutchison

Leeds semi
Sheff Wednesday quarter final
Villa 2-1 in 99

All 3 games had terrific atmospheres , the former 2 of the sort you'd never see now for a quarter or semi final of the FA cup
