Maybe In Another Generation

Episode 8 - FG - 2010/11 Season

The season that changed everything… In this last episode of Season 1, we welcome none other than Faraaz Ghaffur, better known to you and I as FG, as he chats about the history-defining 2010/11 season. The season that saw City aim to finally taste glory after 35 long years in the wilderness… We also talk to FG about how a lad watching City home and away with his mates would go on to present for the club’s own TV channel and end up with almost 1.5 million followers across his social media platforms. After a summer that saw City spend heavily on players that would go on to be amongst our greatest ever, could this expensively assembled squad, finally help the Blues “tear that banner down”? 🎧Available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube🎧 Don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe/Like and share to support the show!

Episode 7 - Simon Curtis - 1983/84 Season

It’s 80’s week! This week I’m delighted to speak to journalist and author of the brilliant ‘City In Europe’, Simon Curtis who takes us for a walk down misery lane to the 1983/84 season. Simon talks us through the sights, sounds and fashions of the early 80’s and what life was like supporting City home and away against the backdrop of hooliganism. Having been relegated in heartbreaking style, City find themselves in the 2nd Division with a new manager in the form of Billy McNeill, a rag tag squad of bargain basement signings and ever crippling debts. Can City make it back to the First Division against the odds? 🎧Available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube🎧 Don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe/Like and share to support the show!

Episode 6 - Dom Farrell - 2001/02 Season

This week we re-live one of the most entertaining seasons in our history, and one that lives long in the memory of many Blues.  It’s the 2001/02 season and this week, I am delighted to be joined by journalist, author and City fan of over 30 years, Dom Farrell.  We join the club in the summer of 2001, having sacked Joe Royle following relegation from the Premier League, amidst rumours of a drinking culture within the playing squad. The appointment of former Newcastle & England Manager Kevin Keegan as the replacement for Royle was a huge coup for the Blues. Could Keegan and his brand of swashbuckling football lead City to a swift return to the top flight? 🎧Available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube🎧 Don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe/Like to support the show!

Episode 5 - Jack Mitchell - 1990/91 Season

This week we head back to the 1990/91 season with the help of Jack Mitchell - drummer for fellow blue, Johnny Marr, collector of match worn City memorabilia and City fan since 1988. Having avoided relegation in the previous season, City start the 90/91 campaign in confident mood, having strengthened the squad with the million pound signing of goalkeeper Tony Coton to compliment the blend of young talent and experienced Everton old boys at their disposal. Under the stewardship of the much sought after Howard Kendall, the Blues were tipped to be one of the dark horses of the season… But nothing's ever that simple, is it?
