Best of luck to the City Women’s team ahead of the Derby @ Etihad Stadium on Sunday 11th December. I’ve got my tickets so hopefully I’ll see you there. C’mon City…let’s keep Manchester Blue! Manchester City Manchester City Women #MCFC

Can’t quite believe it’s twenty years since Manchester City’s final game at Maine Road (still miss that rickety old stadium) Here’s Paul Lake’s memories of the day, as written in #ImNotReallyHere 📖 #mcfc

A nice celeb-related story. When the late, great Eddie Large heard that @paul_lake was having a really bad time post-injury, back in the 1990s, he sent him some photos (from a holiday in the Lake District) to cheer him up I unearthed the pics today during a clear-out Legend

My lovely nephew Matty is looking for a cross-section of people to complete his Masters’ dissertation questionnaire re: football merchandise He’s be so grateful if you could take a few minutes to oblige (and I’ll get some auntie brownie points) 😏⚽️ mmu.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bq…
