Born in Moseley and grew up in south Birmingham. Watched the Blues a little as a teenager until a mate at work suggested going to the Hawthornes for an FA Cup 3rd round game against Plymouth (Jan 1960). Was hooked ever since.
Favourite game difficult but a toss up between the 2nd leg League Cup final of 1966 against West Ham which we won 4-1.
or
in the same year and competition-
The 4th round replay against Jimmy Hill's Coventry City 6-1 (Hat trick from the King)
easier to pick:-
least favourite match-
losing 1-5 at home to Notts Forest (1979?) And we scored first!!!
I'll add another category:-
Match I wished I had seen:- 5-5 against Man Ure (Fergies retirement present from us)
