Why Blue?
I was ten years old. Usual Welsh kid. Rugby ball under one arm, Wales soccer kit on. I was watching footy on the telly and I saw this old guy kick the ball over his head into the goal. It was 1976. I was a City fan. That was the last thing we won! I grew up and went on to play first division rugby in Wales. ‘Didn’t win much there either!
I lived in Wilmslow for two years and got to see quite a few games and met one or two faces. The idols of those Sunday afternoons and Saturday nights, on the telly. You know the people.. Asa, Paul, Big Joe.
I’m living in Chicago at the present, and spend most of my time working in Europe & the US. I get Blue as often as I can. This vehicle will help greatly.
Can’t really say anything else about Why Blue. It took two seconds and has lasted twenty years. Very little success, crap managers, overrated players, more board intrigue than Cluedo, but none of it has ever mattered. We seem happy with winning nowt and losing soft games as long as we get the chance to beat United. Even that seems a little distant now!
But there’s always this year.
