Description
Manchester City On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club’s rollercoaster past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable diary of Blues history – with an entry for every day of the year. From the club’s Victorian roots as a church side right up to the Etihad era, City fans have witnessed Edwardian scandal, league and cup triumphs and embarrassments, hard-fought derbies and unforgettable European nights – all featured here. Timeless greats such as Francis Lee and Georgi Kinkladze, Colin Bell, Frank Swift and Billy Meredith all loom larger than life. Revisit May 11, 1968, when City clinched the league title with a 4-3 win at Newcastle. November 7, 1987, when the Blues hit double figures beating Huddersfield Town 10-1 at Maine Road. And May 5, 1956, when Bert Trautmann broke his neck in the Cup Final.
