[bbk]

Can you throw up a link to the book mentioned by Lee?

[Tales of Blue]

Morning mate,

I can arrange a copy if drop us a message

I very much enjoyed the David Phillips video. He was always a favourite player of mine even when I saw him playing for so many other clubs later in his career. What a shot he had on him. It was a proper fuck up selling him. Shame to hear of Billy McNeill's behaviour too. That red and black away shirt was one of the very best.

[Tales of Blue]

Tales of Blue caught with former City midfielder Danny Tiatto during 2021 who shared his memories of his six years a blue spanning three tiers of English football including his initial trial under Frank Clark, Promotion's, team-mates and his disappointment at moving on, plus much more.

He was really great to talk to and is obviously really fond of his spell with us which was crazy the way he was treated. A top fella

COMING SOON – Barry Silkman – Tales of Blue

Tales of Blue will be catching up with the former City midfielder who was a real maverick of the game and was signed by an evening bigger maverick in then manager Malcolm Allison during 1979, Barry would also go onto to see a different side of football after retirement when becoming a hugely successful football agent.

Really looking forward to this one.

Danny Tiatto and Super Kevin Horlock were another couple of my old favourites. It is amazing how those years, even the year in Div Two, still conjure fond memories. That year was probably the most I ever watched City as we went to a lot of away games. To go straight through Division One to the Prem shows that we had some decent players despite sinking so low. Players like Danny and Kev weren't out of place in the Prem either. Top characters in a team both even though Danny could go over the top on occasion.

NEW EPISODE: Barry Silkman – Tales of Blue

Tales of Blue caught up with the former City midfielder who gave a fascinating insight on his time at Maine Road including saving Ray Ranson's City career, Colin Bell and how a Malcolm Allison AWOL episode cost him his City career.

Barry is real top fella who later became, and still is a top football agent who once offered City current Premier League midfielder Declan Rice.

Comes across alright Barry.Only seen him play a few times for City when i was a kid as he wasn't around long.
Great interviews Mark.Keep em coming.

[KunDB]

For others like me (fanatics) really enjoying these excellent interviews with past players by Mark McCarthy 'Tales of Blue'. I would also recommend 'Ian Cheeseman Forever Blues' Matchday videos: interviews before and after each match with a mix of fans and former players and others. They are on YouTube. Yesterdays match included a short interview with Kevin Keegan, who has not changed in looks in twenty + years.

Enjoyable whether you like it don't like Man City fan & journalist/broadcaster cheesy.
