Pep's Taxi.....

[CTID Hants]

To be fair ADTV, from what I can make out, his Dad/mum and rest of the family did the whole shit years along with the rest of us.

I think it was City64 who said the family are City mad travelling home and away religiously. I guess that has rubbed off on him and he's become a bit of a cult among those travelling, I've seen YT clips of him leading the singing on away days.

Really surprised so many are just being indroduced to Braydon. The kid truly embodies the spirte of a young city supporter. So much excitement around the club, It's hard Not to get caught up in it. Gone are the days of typical city. The kid is A1 stuff: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XtTOhlm3ddQ

To be fair, I'd have been similarly chipper at his age if our flashy foreign signings at that time were of the calibre of Kevin de Bruyne. I had to make do with Kare Ingebrigtsen and Eike Immel.

I'd like to see him trudge through Moss Side piss wet through and freezing cold after we've just lost 1-0 at home on a waterlogged pitch against someone toss (such as that Leicester game in 1994/95).

Blues born since 1996 or so are likely never to know what abject footballing misery feels like!

I think all that shit that we had to go through back then, getting crap of reds in school (I went to a school where there was literally no other City fan and everyone supported the rags), having to go to Macc away and barely getting a 1-0 win, it made me love City even more. In a way I feel sorry that my kids won't get that and half their school will probably 'support' City and it won't be as passionate for them imo.

This is true, and I wouldn't swap those memories (especially of Maine Road itself) for the world.

Hants, I'm not so mean-spirited as to suggest a 10-year-old boy doesn't have the requisite dirt under the fingernails to be considered a true fan. I still can't help but envy the wee shite for the standard of footy into which he was born!

This is great!

I was exactly the same at his age - my mum managed to get Nicky Reid and Tommy Caton to come around for dinner one night as she used to serve them in the local dry cleaners. I was in total awe!

It is only years later that I realised how shit we were. At most times in our history, I genuinely believed that we were brilliant and that at worst, we were "three good signings from being special"... of course, those times were nearly always accompanied by violent swings to feelings of utter despair! It is those mood swings that future blues might struggle to connect with, but in case anyone thinks those personality traits are being diluted within the current fanbase, coming on here after any match might give them some reassurance!
