Agree, parts of Kicked Into Touch came across a bit contrived, but fair do's, it broke the mould at the time by injecting some humour and self-deprecation into a football autobiography. Niall Quinn's book is a pretty good read, IMO, although the focus on City is limited, with more emphasis on...

What fascinating films, particularly Swales' cringeworthy attempts at repartee - or should that be rapport? - with Jimmy Greaves... And yet more confirmation that Swales was an embarrassing, shambolic amateur who made us the butt of a thousand jokes. Anyone who ever moans about Garry Cook...

Which do you mean? Nonplussed (confused) Nonchalant (not arsed) Not best pleased (fecked off)?

I believe the pantomime dame is currently co-writing a Rodney Marsh biography with Ian Cheeseman...

If memory serves I think the 3rd option was a caped crusader-type character. The guy who devised Moonchester was called Mick Peek; he worked in the club's commercial department in the mid 1990s.

I'd like to thank the club for the compassion they showed Carlos during his issues in Argentina. I think he's more than repaid us since then. Player of the Season hands down, and will hopefully be raring to go for us next season after wowing them all in the world cup

I Am The One and Only (Chesney Hawkes) for Martin Petrov

"I just wellied it..." Ian Brightwell after scoring at Old Trafford

Is that Russell Brand in the background on the phone?

Robert Carlyle to play Mancini, Rob Brydon to play Baconface

I thoroughly recommend my Father and Other Stories by Gary Imlach. Won the Sports Book of the Year award. Beautifully written book about the author's quest to find out more about his father, Stewart Imlach, who played for a number of Scottish and English clubs in the 1950s/60s. Would bring a...

That is so typical of City's 'corridors of power' in the mid-1990s, when the club was crawling with all manner of creeps and cronies... As regards the OP, my fave non-City book is Gary Imlach's beautifully written 'My Father and Other Stories' which traces his late father Stuart's footballing...

I would ask Sheikh Mansour if he is able to watch every City game and, if so, from where?

My horror show was the 3-2 derby defeat at Maine Road in November '93...two-nil up courtesy of two goals from Quinny, only for the rags to come back from the dead and beat us. A true nightmare.

Jimi Hendrix's version of Dylan's All Along the Watchtower

I would have persuaded Francis Lee not to build the White Elephant stand and spend the money on players instead.

A packet of Benson's crisps at half time. Used to have to fight your way through a pound of salt to find your crisps.

I think the lovely couple will follow in the footsteps of the Geldofs and the Paltrows and call their offspring after a fruit... ...Ugli

1. Footage of Dennis Tueart's bicycle kick 2. Sunday newspaper from 24th September, 1989 3. Maine Road hot dog with boiled onions

GroBags. Little sleeping bag-type things that you put on babies instead of using blankets. They're not cheap, but GroBags regulate a baby's temperature much better than blankets and definitely allayed my fears of cot death. And my kids slept like logs in them :)
