    A City celebrity supporter goes public - Geoff Downes

    I vaguely recognise the name but the keyboard player with Yes is in today’s Sunday Times detailing his experiences of following the City.
    I’m afraid it is behind a paywall so don’t know how to create a link

    He sat next to a couple of mates in the Grandstand in our first Premier League season.
    He was a member of The Buggles with Trevor Horn aswell.

    What’s his link with City? Any idea? Apparently, he’s from Stockport.

    The Buggles album Age of Plastic is surprisingly good.

    In the sports section.
    Also featured is a certain Mr Owen from Merthyr on Boxing Day trips to the Vetch.

    In response to TLG he was brought down to NP by friends as he had moved to the Newport area.

    There was an interview on radio with Trevor Horn yesterday. Apart from being in Buggles, he also played with Yes.

    There's a few Welsh born celebrities supporting English Premier clubs which I don't get , perhaps it's footy populism.
