'I had no choice really'
This week, we are asking you to share your stories and photos for why you fell in love with Manchester is a selection of your submissions:
Mike: I moved to Bury in 1962 soon after Colin Bell signed for them. He moved into a 'club' house opposite where we lived and I watched him with my dad at Gigg Lane. When he moved to City, my support went with him. Soon after my, second favourite player Franny Lee also signed for City. That was it. I was a Man City fan forever!
Carl: As a football mad three-year-old living in Norwich, I only ever wanted a Norwich football strip. My mum and dad didn't have much money and when my birthday came, I was given a Man City away strip, the red and black stripes, as it was half price. I didn't know about Man City until that day but ever since, I have followed them for 57 years and can remember watching Mike Summerbee, Lee, and Bell. City were strong, then after came the lows but I still loved City every game. Now I still can't believe I support the greatest club ever and always will.
