Episode 1 - Mark McCarthy - 1988/89 Season

Welcome back to Maybe In Another Generation and what an episode to kick off Season 2! We’re heading back 37 years, where I’m joined by Mark McCarthy who’ll walk us through one of my favourites - the 88/89 season.  Aswell as Mark’s recollections of inflatables, journeyman signings and trying our best to not get promoted, Mark will be talking us through how he ended up with the biggest ever collection of matchworn City shirts and the 3 books that followed. Having had one failed attempt at promotion and selling star striker Paul Stewart, can the Blues go up at the second time of asking?  🎧Available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube🎧Don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe/Like and share to support the show!This is ‘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!
