Book is an iconic figure in the history of Manchester City and it’s only right we celebrate him on this landmark occasion.
He captained the Blues to the League Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners Cup and all in the space of three glorious years.
He went on to manage City’s first team for five years, leading us to the League Cup which meant he became the first man to win the competition as both a player and a manager.
Skip then went on to hold several other positions in subsequent years, including looking after flourishing starlets like Paul Lake, David White and Ian Brightwell as City won the FA Youth Cup.
He’s now Honorary President and Life President of our Official Supporters Club.
