My mum got me into football! I had no choice but to be a blue & I am so grateful.
I remember being dragged crying, in the rain into Maine Road to sit in the Kippax with my rubbish plastic poncho to watch Manchester City be absolutely terrible. However, aside from a wet burger every single game and asking “when is this over” I fell in love with the incredible atmosphere & the excitement of supporting Manchester City! Our supporters club family also cemented my love for Manchester City & football.. when we lived in Blackpool we travelled to every home game on the supporters club coach, this gave me the happiest moments and the biggest & best extended family who I still love and catch up with to this day! I remember when I went through a difficult period & all of my football family were constantly there for me. Although embarrassingly I do remember standing on a seat at Old Trafford and it collapsing, me getting my leg stuck and City loosing the game to top it off!!
A picture of little me (proof I was there when Raheem Sterling wasn’t top of the league Haha!)
