Coming soon..... we discuss our football loves, by the way that's Manchester City and hometown team Doncaster Rovers!
It all started on March 11th, 1972 (oops just gave my age away!) which was the day I was born. My Mum and Dad both Leeds United fans decided for some bizzare reason to name me after Colin Bell. Bell to those not in the know starred in probably the best Manchester City of all time who won the league, Fa Cup, League Cup and European cup winners cup. he also played numerous times for England too and if it wasn't for a serious injury that basically ended his career far too early would have been viewed as one of England's finest midfielders of all time.
To be continued....
70's - My life as a lie and mostly can't remember!
It's always been said my whole life that the day I was born Colin Bell scored for City and hence the reason why I was named after him. However, this turns out to be a big fat porky, Colin Bell didn't score that weekend at all, in fact City's only goal that day against Everton was an own goal! Which to be honest quite sums up watching City from there on in!
Colin Bell did score a week or so before my actual birth date so whilst my life has been based on a lie it could have been a lot worse. My parents were Leeds fans so I could have been called something as horrible as Billy (Bremner) or Jackie (Charlton)!
It is true also that from birth I've been a blue cause due to a complication at birth I came out with the cord rapped round my neck and I was quite literally a BLUE!
80's - football down belle vue and how Tottenham ruined my life!
90's - City all the way, football and music - Manchester ruled the day.
00's - Down amongst the deadmen and Rovers back from the dead to Wembley wonders!
