A huge City fan - father to the broadcaster and fellow Blue Susan and former City youth team player John - David passed away on Xmas Eve.
John was the unused sub when City beat United 3-1 on aggregate in the 1986 FA Youth Cup final.
David became the leader of Derbyshire County Council in the 80's and alongside Derek Hatton (Liverpool city council) and Bernie Grant (Brent Council) he became a thorn in Margaret Thatcher's side....
David was also a cousin of Elaine Bookbinder - better known as the singer Elkie Brooks - and her brother Anthony (stage name Tony Mansfield) from the 60's band The Dakotas.
The picture here is of David supporting his son John on the day he signed apprenticeship forms for City in 1985
My thoughts are with Susan and her son Zac
