One of the latest supporters to add their personal memory is GMTV anchorman John Stapleton , who has been following the club for more than 50 years. The former Royal Television Society Presenter of the Year revealed his first brush with what would become a lifetime obsession was a 5-0 win over a North West side containing one of the game’s greatest players.

“My first memory of watching City was a game my father took me to when City played Blackpool who had Stanley Matthews in their team,” recalled John.

“That was back in 1953, believe it or not, and it was a heck of a journey because we lived in Saddleworth at the time and had to take two buses to get to Manchester and then get the trolley bus to Maine Road.

“In those days, youngsters who couldn’t see the match were placed on the tunnel wall – very dangerous and health and safety would have heart failure if they saw it now! That’s where I sat for most of the home matches as a kid. After a couple of games that was me – I was a City fan done and dusted! “

‘My First City Game’ was first launched in the summer of 2008 via a dedicated website and has since received almost 1,500 recollections from supporters and celebrities alike. A number of quotes have been reproduced on colourful billboards around the stadium concourse and used extensively on the club website, matchday programme and official magazine over the past 18 months.

Some of the oldest memories recounted date back to the 1920s, while the December 2009 visit of Chelsea proved to be the first match for several of our younger fans
