I know he's won countless trophies with us over the years but for me the best moment has to be that pass to Sané against Stoke in the 7-2 win. I could see them both moving towards Stoke's goal and I thought "He can't pull that off, surely". And then he just pulled that pass out of nowhere, bisected about six Stoke players, and put it on a platter for Sané that was so silver Leroy didn't even need to control it. He just slammed it in. After the goal went in I fully yelled out loud "No way, just fuck off" in response and started laughing. To this day, the most outrageous thing I've ever seen on a football pitch. Kev made it all look so easy - the closest thing to a PlayStation footballer I've ever seen at City.

Also, this is just a little personal one - after the FA Cup final last year me and my mum stayed behind to watch United lift the trophy (took some pictures for my dad who's a Red - who has driven us to Wembley for City games countless times). In the period after United lifted the cup, I was waving to the City players who were stood about in our half of the pitch, just thanking them for winning the league. At some point, Kevin looked up towards where I was standing, so I started waving with two arms in the air. Kevin immediately clocked me, because it was just me and my mum and a sea of empty seats, and he waved back with both arms in the air. I clapped and then he clapped. It only lasted about five seconds, thousands of people thank him every weekend, and I was a hundred feet away, but I'm glad I had that moment with him.

I rarely get emotional over a player going apart from feeling sad but the wording on that statement, especially ‘Manchester will always be on our kids passports - and more importantly in each of our hearts’ hit me and I filled up and a couple of tears escaped.
Thank you KDB for 10 years of superb football. There not much else to say really. You are and will always be a Blue.





Heaven help me if/when John Boy goes!!
 
How lucky we have been that he not only chose to bless us with his greatness but to stay for as long as he has. Sad to see him go, but he has given us absolutely everything, and has earned the right to depart in whatever manner he sees fit. What a legend he is.
 
Arguably the clubs greatest ever player.

But unfortunately part of me has thought it was time to move on since last season. Good luck to him wherever he goes.
 
Sadly all great things come to an end.
I wish Kevin and his family well.
I also wish for our fans to stay behind and give him the send off he deserves.
Legend.

Easy to forget how long he's been here and how long he's been at the top.

Stoke are in the wilderness and have been for years and Kev was here pulling them apart when they were in the prem.
 
What a player, one the fans will never forget. One the fans will always be grateful for.

Kevin you was a joy to watch, you was the locksmith of the football world.

Thanks for the many great memories KB. We will always cherish them.

Good luck in the next chapter LEGEND.

That pass was sublime, I can recall it like it was yesterday. It was a proper OMG moment.
