Vinny is a true club legend.
As a 25 year old blue, my dad stated taking me from age 5.
Own season ticket since age 6 (98/99) and somehow still going strong now despite the shit he initially cursed me with ;-)
In that time Kompany has been the best defender I've ever seen play and certainly the best captain I've had the joy to witness. A real leader. An honorary Manc and a role model on and off the pitch.
He came at a time when we weren't what we are today and led us to our most successful period ever.
In the 11/12 season we first won it, I honestly don't think there was a better defender in the world at that point. He was a monster.
Scored some crucial goals. United and West Ham spring to mind.
I'm sure like many other blues my age, this may well the the era we hark back to and our Bell, Lee and Sumerbee will be Vinny, Silva and Sergio.
Here's to you Vincent Kompany!
City loves you more than you will knowwww
