00:03
Nunez! Nunez! Ha!

Hey, Rodri's on fire!
00:07
Alright, have we joined in? How are you, pal?

Love this city!
00:30
Imran is one of the guys that went into all the finals.
00:39
We were in that season, the travel season.
00:41
So, yeah, it was very special for us.
00:43
I feel his support in this moment.
00:45
Surprised, I wasn't expecting anyone to turn up.
01:01
All I was told was there was going to be a meeting
01:03
with one of the representatives of Man City about some work next season.
01:06
It's something you don't forget when Rodri turns up to come and meet you.
01:10
I wasn't expecting any players. I'm so shocked.
01:13
It's been great and it's been a joy to follow this club.
01:25
How are we?
01:26
Alright, have we joined in?
01:28
Alright, have we joined in?
01:29
Yeah!
01:30
How are you, pal?
01:31
Nice to meet you. You OK, yeah?
01:32
Yeah, I'm alright.
01:33
Nice to see you.
01:34
I just couldn't believe it.
01:36
I was starstruck.
01:38
Yeah.
01:39
Star truck.
01:40
Sorry I was too funny, man.
01:43
Wow!
01:44
Wow!
01:45
It's the worst shot I've ever seen.
01:48
Very special.
01:49
A special moment to make someone's day.
01:52
20.
01:53
You love it.
01:54
Yes, I feel you.
01:55
Incredible!
01:56
47, my shirt number.
01:58
It's a point.
01:59
It's for you mate.
02:00
Cheers, thank you.
02:01
It's for you mate.
02:02
It's not his day, it's all back anyway.
02:03
Cheers, thank you.
02:05
We are visiting Maureen, a local head teacher who is hugely supportive of City in the community.
02:13
She's a lifelong City fan and retiring soon. So we're going to surprise her with some gifts.
02:18
How are you?
02:19
Good.
02:20
How are you?
02:21
Good.
02:22
Are you good?
02:23
No.
02:24
My favorite young stomp people.
02:25
First we're going to meet Maureen and surprise her. We have some gifts to give to her.
02:42
Are you guys going to help us?
02:43
Yes.
02:44
Yeah.
02:45
Nice to see you, Maureen.
02:46
We have a few surprises.
02:47
Hello.
02:49
Are you not my surprises?
02:52
Hello.
02:53
Nice to meet you.
02:54
Nice to meet you too.
02:56
I knew they were coming. They were coming to do some filming with the children.
03:01
But I didn't think for one minute that they would be coming to speak to me.
03:05
In the name of most of the city we show a very good retirement. This is just a surprise
03:11
for you, a little surprise.
03:12
Thank you very much. I feel very spoilt and very honoured.
03:15
Are you here teaching all of these kids?
03:18
They're alright really.
03:20
The players were just so warm towards the children.
03:23
So our children in there are five.
03:26
I hope you had them if you want to.
03:28
When we were at that age we really wanted to achieve what we've done and seeing kids that
03:34
have the same dreams we had, it's really nice.
03:37
I'm never washing this t-shirt again.
03:40
Just saying.
03:41
Love this city!
03:50
Alan is an 81 year old, lifelong city fan but also a community hero here in East Manchester.
03:56
Alan received an MBE in 2006 for his amazing community work.
04:00
The FA created a new award dedicated to Alan for his work in grassroots football.
04:06
He's wondering who it is.
04:08
He's doing very, very hard work.
04:10
Hello.
04:11
You alright?
04:12
Nice to meet you.
04:13
Are we alright to come in?
04:14
As I looked through the window and saw who was coming out of the car, I thought this
04:19
is brilliant.
04:20
Alan, we've come to see you.
04:21
You okay?
04:22
How are you?
04:23
I'm alright.
04:24
Nice to meet you.
04:25
Yeah, nice to meet you.
04:26
Take my shoes off.
04:27
If Rico didn't ask so I'll ask for it.
04:29
No, no, that's fine.
04:30
You sit down.
04:31
My memory is pretty good so I will remember this all my life.
04:38
You're welcome.
04:40
Lovely to meet you.
04:41
Lovely to meet you.
04:42
Today we are on our way to surprise the Almond family who lost, sadly, their daughter
04:50
Maisie lost him.
04:51
They are lifelong fans and today we are here to show our love and support.
04:56
You okay?
04:57
Nice to meet you.
04:58
We've got a surprise for you.
04:59
Hello.
05:00
Hello.
05:01
Hello.
05:02
Hi.
05:03
You okay, nice to meet you.
05:04
Oh my God.
05:05
How are you?
05:06
Nice to meet you.
05:07
How are you?
05:08
Nice to meet you.
05:09
How are you?
05:10
Nice to meet you.
05:11
You okay?
05:12
You okay?
05:13
You okay?
05:14
Yeah, good.
05:15
Welcome to City.
05:17
I can't believe it.
05:18
I'm still shaking.
05:19
Turn up for lunch.
05:20
You'll have a bit of a tour.
05:21
So, yeah.
05:22
I'm shocked.
05:23
Yeah.
05:24
I'm really, I'm still shaking inside.
05:26
The game after she died, it was first of Southampton, sort of 14th minute.
05:30
There was a round of applause.
05:31
Oh, okay.
05:32
I think I remember that.
05:34
Yeah.
05:35
It was really quite loud, actually.
05:37
Yeah.
05:38
There was applause in the 14th minute for 14-year-old Maisie Almond, a Manchester City fan
05:44
from Staley Bridge who tragically died of acute liver failure just before she was due a transplant
05:51
operation.
05:52
We're really sorry for the loss.
05:55
Yeah.
05:56
It was just so sudden.
05:57
We set up a charity in Maisie's name called, she was always called Maisie Moo and that
06:02
was her nickname.
06:03
I think it's just the community spirit of Manchester City.
06:06
Honestly, we've just seen it in bucket loads.
06:09
It's been difficult, very, very difficult for us and just those little glimmers of, you
06:14
know, kindness really makes, really helps us.
06:18
It feels good, obviously, you know, making them smile and being surprised but being also
06:24
happy at the same time, you know, seeing us.
06:27
Especially, you know, with knowing what they had to go through.
06:30
Probably the worst thing you can go through as a family, as a parent.
06:34
Especially when you have kids, you can't imagine how hard the time is for them.
06:39
Giving each other support, you know, by just having conversations, you know, and trying
06:46
to keep each other up.
06:48
I think that's what life is about.
