Despite living with dementia, he still enjoys watching the games with his sons, Martin and John, from Care UK's Abney Court nursing home in Cheadle, where he lives.

Kevin, whose love for the club began at an early age, often reminisces about the times he has spent watching his team in action, with his favourite player being one of City's all-time greats, midfielder Colin Bell.
