00:00There was a point when bananas started to turn up at football grounds. Can you tell us what happened there?

00:07I can. Again, I was at Man City 36 years ago, this started in 1987. We were at Main Road and we had some good players,

00:17Bruce for our front, Nick McCarthy was our captain, we had some good young talent coming through.

00:23And a fan brought this inflatable banana and then all of a sudden they started calling me Imre Banana.

00:30I thought, that's weird. Anyway, the next game it started to expand and there was 100 bananas.

00:38And then it just swept the country right through to Arsenal. Everybody had an inflatable.

00:46Some, say West Ham had an inflatable hammer, Grimsby had an inflatable fish and it just took off.
