Final Cheers for City’s Top Fan…
In a tale that reads like a fairy-tale, only with more football scarves, the legendary Manchester City super-fan Craig ‘Shez’ Shennan has kicked his last bucket of confetti in celebration of his beloved Blues. For 52 years, he was not just a fan, but a full-on football marathon man, hitting every home game like it was a pilgrimage to his sacred football temple. He was such a landmark of loyalty that even Google Maps couldn’t untangle his dedication! Sadly, Shez’s glorious streak of match attendance was tackled off the field by his battle with cancer.
A postman by day and a match day celebrity by night, Shez had a CV longer than the Premier League season! He bounced from delivering letters to collecting scrap metal faster than a winger on Red Bull, all to fund his city-spanning adventures with Manchester City FC. With his cheeky smile and unmistakable presence, you’d be forgiven for mistaking Shez’s fan enthusiasm as training for a life comic strip character! He could light up a stadium better than the floodlights.
In Wythenshawe, the community grieves but celebrates with football-mad merriment, remembering Shez’s epic tales, like inviting Karren Brady for a cuppa — no doubt on the official FA Brew List! Fans nationwide will gather for the inaugural Shez Cup — where goalies may as well bring binoculars to spot the speedy strikers. An army of ex-players is rumored to attend, likely because they’ve heard about the legendary burgers and ice creams that’ll be making an appearance. Though Shez might’ve hung up his boots, his memory will cartwheel across the pitch eternally. Who needs a Hall of Fame when you’ve got the Shez Cup?
