This week we re-live one of the most entertaining seasons in our history, and one that lives long in the memory of many Blues. It’s the 2001/02 season and this week, I am delighted to be joined by journalist, author and City fan of over 30 years, Dom Farrell. We join the club in the summer of 2001, having sacked Joe Royle following relegation from the Premier League, amidst rumours of a drinking culture within the playing squad.The appointment of former Newcastle & England Manager Kevin Keegan as the replacement for Royle was a huge coup for the Blues. Could Keegan and his brand of swashbuckling football lead City to a swift return to the top flight?🎧Available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube🎧Don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe/Like to support the show!This is ‘Maybe In Another Generation’ 🩵

For our first ever episode of 'Maybe In Another Generation', I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the number one Manchester City historian, Gary James. There's a good chance that if you support Manchester City, you'll own at least one of his books. He has written extensively on City since 1989, including Maine Men To Banana Citizens, Manchester, the Greatest City, and Farewell to Maine Road, aswell as the authorised history of Manchester Corinthians Ladies Football Club, and the authorised biographies of Joe Mercer, and Peter Barnes. 
We walk through the highs and lows of 1984/85 season, culminating in that special day against Charlton Athletic. Gary also talks us through some of his away day experiences, against the backdrop of mounting football violence, and also how he went from a teenager on the terraces, to become a renowned author of over 20 books.This is 'Maybe In Another Generation.
