He was an ardent City fan, and had travelled out in 1968 to see City play Moscow Torpedo ..... in Tashkent ! (The game was moved from Moscow due to the bad weather). Some 4,000 miles.
It took him 5-6 days of constant travelling to get there, and another 5-6 days to get back..... and if memory serves me, I think he said no more than a dozen City fans were in attendance, ..... to see them lose 1-0 .
Baku seems child’s play to what these guys did
