Happy Birthday Skip.

Can only echo what others are saying about Skip, a great man so humble and genuine a true blue. On the football pitch was probably one of the hardest players in his generation. Happy Birthday and here's to many more Skip

Happy Birthday Skip. Tony Book, the one constant in all my years supporting City, as a player, a manager and now ambassador. He deserves his place in our hall of fame as much as anyone.
 
I remember James(my lad) coming home and asking me who he was. He was only about 9 or 10 and I'd sent him to the local garage for something or other and he was wearing his City shirt. Some random bloke in there saw his shirt and started talking to him. Told him he's a good lad for following the blues and not like all those sheep who supported the rags. Then he said "I'm on my way to see my old mate Tony Book, you won't know him but ask your dad when you get home". I often wonder who it was and if it was an old player.
 
Old enough to watch him play and apart from being a gent he is a dyed in the wool blue, happy birthday Tony.
 
Seen Skip a few times in Sale and like already said many times in this thread,a true gentleman and a great ambassador for our great club. A true many happy returns TB.

Quality. You don't get side partings like that any more! Oh, and I never thought I'd ever see the day when a City captain would pose with trophies again.......I thought those fuckers would always be on top, and we'd get the odd decent cup run, I was happy just to stay up!
 
Happy birthday skip.you were my first successful man city manager and thank you for the joy you gave me..including my first trip to Wembley as a little boy in 1976.
