Richard Whitehead, The Times
Well written, painstakingly researched and sumptuously produced. A must for the shelf of every City fan and serious football historian.

Richard Bott, MCFC Match Programme
Here is a book that more than justifies the blurb. If you are a Blue, this definitive book on City is for you.

MIKE BARNETT, Manchester based journalist.
The book contains half a million words. And weighing in at just over four pounds, it’s probably the heaviest book ever written on a club.

This book is a must for every City fan, it covers every moment of City's history, from the day it started as a cricket team, to the last few seasons. Brilliant book, well worth it.

The author has gone to great lengths to produce a first class book which is easy to read and difficult to put down. A total history in words and fantastic archive pictures. A must for all Manchester Blues.

I can't fault it really, top notch, a great reference
From City robbing Spurs of the LEague in 1960, extra pies being bought at Wembley in 1933, Billy Merediths great cup exploits, the history of Miane Rd, 84,000 v Stoke, 5-1, 10-1 it is all here, excellent!
