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.
