The two who were closest to the fans, in terms of loving every win, kicking every ball, and feeling despair at every setback:
Kevin Keegan and Roberto Mancini.
Brian Horton was a terribly nice man - possibly too nice to be a manager.
My Dad met Joe Mercer a few times and said he was lovely - a real gentleman.
Pep obviously cares a lot about his players / the people at the club / is a man of his word - but maybe with a ruthless streak when required ?
1. Tony Book a real City legend. No one can get anywhere near to his 50 years plus loyalty to City
2. Joe Mercer for the history of the 60s and 70s
3. Mancini for allowing us to believe again
Hard to leave Pep out but he can make his own claim over the next few years.
