Don't have many friends interested enough / can afford to do big England away trips I don’t know what it’s like these days, but back then and earlier, it wasn’t organised as such, you just went and met others on the way. Our trip to Munich went from London via Paris, just two of us with no hotel booked. By the time we got to Munich there were probably 60-100 England, with City lads we just knew.

When we came out to collect him after the match someone had stolen him. Then we found him back at the Globe pub no/one knows including him how he got back there... classic City away... 19 years though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 The old bill took a well known city fan from bedminster, and a few others the night, and dumped them, in the middle of nowhere. Maybe thats the kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Another thing i can recall, about 20 people all gave a guy 2 euro to jump off the bridge by the grasshopper into the canal. Anybody recall that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
