I was at this game supporting Brighton.
Joe Corrigan, City’s legendary keeper of 17 years was playing for the Albion !
I will never forget the reception the City fans gave Him. They cheered every save He made, even though He was playing for the opposition. They constantly chanted ” JOE, JOE C O R R I G A N ! ” and ENGLAND’S ENGLAND’S NO 1.
City beat us 4 – 0 ,but at the end of the day I was more emotional about the passion and never ending love the City Fans had given big Joe !
I’ve been a Brighton fan all of my life, but since that day I’ve always had an admiration for the City Fans !
They are GENUINE loyal fans , and that should be recognised !
I annoys me a little when I hear some people today, say that City fans are only fans now because of the success of recent years !
