    Proper Man City legend

    Didn’t sign professional till he was thirty and then signed for city when he was thirty one

    Captained them to four major trophies, making him the second highest decorated captain ever at the club

    From that great Colin Bell, Franny Lee, Mike Summerbee era. When watching MOTD was something to look forward to with great commentators like Motson and Davies.
