What's the little piece of City that you most cherish? Be it a badge, an autograph, a photo.

For me it was my first kit. It was the Le Coq kit in 2001. It was my first internet purchase. It's a mile too big for me but it remains my favourite kit.

What's your gem?

I'm not much for memorabilia, but I still got my ticket from the 2011 FA Cup final in a drawer somewhere.

Shirt signed by Aguero.

Won it when I was his millionth twitter follower or something like that.

I did used to have a lucky City bucket hat that used to be my dads from the 70s but the guy sat next to me took it off my head and launched it off the 2nd tier when Agueroooooo happened. Some lad in SSL1 grabbed it so it's now his!

A scarf which was given to me by my uncle when he learned I was a City fan, he said he got it in 1976 at Wembley.

It's similar to the scarf Mancini made popular but it's a proper heavy wool scarf and in each white section Manchester City is knitted in maroon

Framed and signed shirt from the 2012 title win that my wife got me for my bday years ago. It’s on full display in our dining room. I’ve also got a few match worn shirts I love, too many tops and a cool looking medal/program thing from the fa cup win.

My lucky Man City underpants that I've had since I was seven.
Still wear them on matchdays, as I scream at the television in a very high pitched voice.

When we scored in the 1981 semi I turned the radio off and went for a walk, returning when the game was over with my fingers crossed. I kicked a stone all the way round our block as I walked. When I got back my mum told me we had won and I've kept that lucky stone since.

That's a lovely little story.

Funnily enough, just when I read it, the Spotify playlist I was playing started with the intro to A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It".

Think I've still got Gerard Wiekens towel from after a friendly against Bury when me and my brother managed to sneak in to the changing rooms.

Man City magazine issue 1 - surely its worth something now?? Got a signed centenary magazine too but guess all the superstars who signed it in the day aren't really in demand.

Wembley Final (not the reply) and semi final tickets from 1981.

The earliest things I have are a Francis Lee sticker and a plastic club badge (the original ship one) forever stuck to the wardrobe I had in the early 70s.

I also keep a club pennant listing all our trophies; it dates from the Keegan era and serves as a reminder of how much has changed.
