Your top 10 City games

[Beefymcfc]

Fucking hell, so many games to chose from. In order:

1. Aguero moment, because we beat the Rags to the league in the most special way

2. 6-1, because we hammered the Rags at the Swamp,

3. FA Cup semi-final because it led to the greatest City moment in my life.

And ...

4. Any time we’ve beaten the cunts in my lifetime, even if we were looking at demotion.

Rag cunts!

Jeez, this is difficult.
1) Late 1950s...England Schoolboys v Germany Schoolboys & my 1st ever visit to Maine Road with my Dad. Got a lift from Wythenshawe in a Granelli's ice cream van. No memory whatsover of the game but Maine Road was awesome. Little did I know then that it would serve as my 2nd home for so long.

2) Again late 1950's,The traditional pre season game; City first IX v City reserves. 2nd tripto Maine Road, 1st to see City. Again I was overawed by the place.
Got through the turnstile, ran across the gravel behind the old Scoreboard End, up the banking for my 1st view of the pitch and the 1st thing I saw was Bert Trautmann warming up. That was the 1st time I had ever felt any bemotion for City. He still is my footballing hero.

3) 1978... Took my eldest to her City game. Was given free tickets by some bloke outside the ground. Seats were right next to the directors box.
After about 10 mins , 2 blokes came dopwn the line to sit in the 2 empty seats next to me. The 1st was Barry Betts an old City full back, I never looked at the other.
They sat down & told my 6yr old daughter who Betts was & looked over towards him, o crynly then to realise I was say next to Bert Trautmann. I was 29 and spent almost the whole game just staring at him. The man who had broken his neck and carried on playing in the 1956 Cup Final.

4) 1966...Last game of the season. City 2-2 Southampton, not just promotion but as Champions in Mercer/Allison's 1st season. The 1st time City had won anything (!956 Cup Win was all but forgotten, too young then to remember it properly). A cup presentaion, delayed by a mass pitch invasion,. "United here we come" was the shout. A prophecy that would soon come true.

5) 1968....the rags 1-3 City.. The night we knew we had caught the rags & we were better than them. More importantly, the night they knew it too. It took us to the top of the league and a few games later, we were Champions at St James Park

6) 1968...A few games later, Newcastle 3-4 City. "We are the Champions" of all of the probably millions of teams from schools, pubs to the top of Division 1, City were the best. My Dad had told me about his great CityChampions team of the 1930s, Now I had my own.

7...1969...City 1-0 Leicester, My 1st FA Cup final & 1st visit to the old Wembley. The 1956 Cup Final had been my 1st day as a City fan but it was really my Dad's day, but this day was mine We had new City heroes.

8)... Gilligham....for obvious reasons. My emotions that day of mixed relief/celebration & sheer ecstacy as Dickov scored surpassed all others until.....

9) ...Until.....AGUEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. No explanations necessary for this one.

10)...More a dream than a memory. A wish more than a certainty. But maybe the moment we all crave, maybe later this year, as the City captain lifts the Champions League trophy above his head and shows it to a fanless ground. City the best team in Europe.having beaten Europe's best, having beaten all the cheating UeFA corruption to stop us, having beaten the media insults and lies, the corrupt refs, the corrupt politics of those who belive they are football's elite.
I'm adding this because I have a funny feeling in my water that this year we could it and it saves me adding it to a similar thread in 12 months time.

You not going to include any games from St Marks John??? Hope ya well buddy. X
