Why Blue?

I have been a City fan for about 60 years; I think one of the reasons was mam was a City fan, dad was United. When City played United and we won dad would get his dinner that night but if they beat us he wouldn’t get any, so we all suffered. I was one of the original volunteer bingo ticket sellers in 1968. I still follow the Blues even though I have been in Australia for the last 31 years and follow all your articles. Would like to hear from any of my old mates; my name is Ray Gibbons from the old scoreboard end behind Helen the bell.
