Why Blue?

I will never forget the date February 29th 2004. Daughter gets knocked over by car, receives severe brain injuries. My wife (heavily pregnant) and myself spend 10 painful weeks in the hospital. Days and dates go by without noticing anything else that happens around us. I remember the day well when it all fell into place. City were playing United, consultant comes into room and gives us good news (daughter allowed home shortly). As he leaves I turn to look at the TV (only had BBC2); it is showing highlights of the game. I look up to see SWP score a super goal. I shout so loud I startle everyone. We done ’em, we done ’em, we stuffed ’em.

All the days in the hospital were hard, but one of them was made easier. Cheers Shaun.

My wife eventually gave birth, a beauty of a boy, his name is Shaun Wright John James. Couldn’t have it all my way. My daughter’s recovery going very well as well.
