Foreword by John Stapleton

 

Packed with witty anecdotes, exclusive insights and glorious moments from City’s illustrious past, My Blue Heaven features the type of footballer that true blues have always identified with - the terrace heroes who light up a dull Saturday afternoon with their style, passion and commitment to the cause.

The concept of My Blue Heaven is simple - interviews the star names and ask them about their favourite games. So we hear from the striker who is still blamed for costing City a league title and the forward who helped City thrash United 5-0 at Old Trafford. Then there’s the goalkeeper who put in two FA Cup Final Man of the Match performances but still ended up on the losing side and the veteran defender whose first goal for the Blues remains his most treasured memory.

Here then are the players featured and interviewed in My Blue Heaven:
Alan OAKES Alex WILLIAMS Clive ALLEN Clive WILSON David WHITE Ian BISHOP
Joe CORRIGAN Ken BARNES Mark LILLIS Paddy FAGAN Paul LAKE
Paul POWER Paul WALSH Peter BARNES Rodney MARSH
Roy LITTLE Tommy BOOTH Uwe ROSLER
