The red & black shirt which City wore at the dawn of the 70s was the brainchild of maverick assistant boss Malcolm Allison, who sought to emulate the style and success of AC Milan. As it turned out, the experiment was a roaring success, City wore the change strip against Leicester when they lifted the 1969 FA Cup Final, then in their ensuing 1970 ECWC Final victory in Vienna against Gornik Zabrze and, just nine days later, in their League Cup win over West Brom. No wonder the Milanese look has kept cropping up in various forms as City’s second or third kit, even as recent as the 2011/12 Premier League title season success.

That was the only similarity with AC Milan then
