Moved to Norfolk in 1976 aged 8

Went to FCR whenever Man City were playing. Loved it so much that carried on going to most games and eventually became a Norwich fan. Lived on Rosary Road in the 80s which was great. Ended up living in Manchester since 92. Bizarrely, my local team is now Man City. Still get back to Nodge though for games when I can.
