@brian_horton4 @LutonTownExile I couldn't believe how good he still was in his early 40's when he was first team coach at City. Still the best crosser at the club and considering we had Peter Beagrie and Nicky Summerbee on either side that was some accolade. You genuinely couldn't tell what footed Mossy was 🩵

Do you want to win 2 tickets to a Manchester City game?

The Manchester City Former Players Club are running a competition which gives you the chance to win tickets to either Manchester City Vs Leicester or Manchester City Vs Crystal Palace, with access to the Commonwealth Suite.

We now have more than 30 former players that have paid tribute to 'Skip' Tony Book on the Once A Blue Man City Facebook page. Head over there and read the fantastic memories people had of him 🩵

Just been told about the passing of 'Skip' Tony Book and gutted to hear the sad news. He had such an influence on so many of us that came through the ranks at City and I will never forget what he did for me personally. An absolute City legend 🩵😔

You are always guaranteed a great welcome at the Burslem Blues supporters club branch 🩵

Dominated first 15/20 mins then after going 2-1 down didn't do enough to win it but kept going! Needed more shots and crosses as believe it or not for the first 100 + years of football that's how goals are scored 🩵🤣🤣

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

@ManCityFPA Many of the players that came through the club at that time owe a massive debt of gratitude to Skip and Glyn Pardoe for not only passing their fantastic football knowledge but also influencing us as men and how to conduct ourselves 🩵

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Hard fought win today and even before the goal Kovacic was excellent 🩵

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

I cannot believe we are on 81 mins and Southgate has made one change!! 🤬🤬

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Happy 50th birthday to @MarkMmmac who's Man City Match Worn Shirts books are a great read for all Blues of a certain age. Have a great day Mark 🩵

Chelsea away first game of the season on the Sunday 😬

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Absolutely gutted about Kevin Campbell who was a school year older than me and was far too young

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Ladies and Gents. Let's not get mad/angry about what has been another brilliant season. Poor performance today and too many players off colour but let's remember what the last 12 years have brought. Gutted to lose to them of all people but been another amazing year 🩵

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Kovacic tonight - absolutely fantastic! Ortega came on as well and made 3 great saves but what a game he had 🩵

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Wouldn't expect them to help us out but 3 games for a domestic double 😁

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

25 years ago today since St Jimmy Glass scored this last minute goal to keep us (Carlisle) in the league. What a day!! 🩵

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

Well that was far from convincing today but who cares at this time of the season??

[David Brightwell @brighty1971]

What a day that's been 🍺🍺
