Manchester City are saddened to report that our Honorary President Tudor Thomas has passed away.

Tudor was a loyal supporter of the Club since just after the Second World War, attending matches with his wife Mary wherever we played.

At the Tudor Room in the The Etihad Stadium, he entertained match officials and scouts on behalf of the Club, surrounded by memorabilia that he collected in his 60 years of loyal support.

He was a prominent businessman in Stockport and a major supporter of the Academy helping fundraising with the Academy for many years.

The thoughts of everyone at Manchester City are with Tudor’s family and friends.

The club will mark his passing at next weekend’s game against Aston Villa.
