I was introduced to CCFC by my late Grandfather at the age of 9 yrs.The first player I met was Paul Wimbleton outside the ground in the car park and it made my week ai! I remember going to school and telling the boys and they all went who's he? Lol.
Also anyone remember the free tracker bars outside the ground (promotions and they would give you enough to feel sick)? Why do I remember these things!

Tony Evans, he was in a bath down NP after training. We were being given a tour after winning the Under 11's cup, he was going mad because the physio kept turning the cold water tap on. Luckily he had speedo's on or he'd never have been able to sign my shirt

Tough one this
I played alongside Jason Perry for Btm fc from 8 years of age and his father took us to our first City game so I suppose that doesn't count,Ronnie Bird became our coach and his son Gareth also played in that team so that don't count.............Phil Dwyer came every year to our presentation nights so he would be my first I suppose(legend) was lucky enough to interview him.Does anyone know if the players still do this?,if not then that would surely help us build for the future.
sorry it was a bit long memory lane came knocking
