Steve, who took home £2,500, spoke at City’s 1-1 Premier League draw at home to Chelsea about his experience of signing up, his reaction to winning and his reasons for entering the draw.
When asked how he found out about his winnings, Steve said: “I got an email in the morning, just before Christmas.
I looked at it four or five times, checked it wasn’t a scam because I enter lots of competitions and never win and yeah, I just couldn’t believe it, but it’s fantastic.”
Steve spoke pitch side both before the match on Matchday Live and at half-time with stadium presenter, Natalie Pike.
When asked about his intentions for entering the draw he added: “I enter lots of these competitions because I want to win the signed shirts.
“For this one, I actually wanted to donate to City in the Community and then I win the prize! So, that’s the moral of the story, go for the charity and you might win.
Steve was also asked whether he would enter the draw again, and his response was: “Absolutely! When I joined, I thought well it’s five pound per ticket so I did a direct debit, so I don’t need to worry now, it just comes out every month.
“Fingers crossed, I might win again, you never know!
