A bit of self indulgence.
So, what is it to you ?
Born and raised in Fallowfield, most of the family lived on Hart Rd.
Well , her father was a steward at Maine Rd in the 30’s so knew the players , particularly Frank Swift, and he was often a visitor to the family home .
After the war, and in to the 50’s , the Don, he of the “Revie plan” lodged with my Great Aunt , just off Wilbraham Rd , she didn’t like him , so obviously a good judge of character.
In the late 50’s , she became “very” friendly with a young City player called Bill Bootle, he never really made it, but is still a friend of the family.
Moving on, she became part of the in crowd with Busby and co, which later went on to going out with Busby and Mercer and wives , with my father.
She is 87 years old , and suffering from Alzheimers in a care home .
Whenever I get back to the UK , the first question she asks, is not how I am , but what was the result !
Is it any wonder I am Blue ?
