RIP MIKE DOYLE

Only just seen this.

Horrible news.

I'll never forget it when he coached me as a kid at school. Top top man.

 

[Liam Murray]

One of my all time favourite City players

A 100% er to the City cause if ever there was one

RIP

He and Dave Watson are still the best centre back paring that I've seen at City. One of the Bluest players to wear the shirt.

Spot on!

Very sad news.

As a long-suffering fellow Blue, I am glad he got to see us lift the cup and challenge at the top end of the league before he passed away.

Fond memories of Mike including after one away match at Nottingham Forest. We were driving home when we suddenly found we were behind the team bus after following it for a few miles it turned into a Hotel car park. We made a snap decision and also entered the
Hotel car park, we then made our way into the hotel where an employee said "are you with the Man City team" we replied in the affirmative and were ushered into a side room with its own bar. We meekly sat in a corner and tried to look inconspicuous whilst the players tucked into plates of sandwiches and downed a few bevies. As the players set off to leave Mike Doyle walked over to our table and handed us two plates of sandwiches "here you are lads get stuck into those" he said.

What a warrior and great City player he was - RIP Mike gone but not forgotten.

I've just found out and i'm gutted to the pit of my stomach. Mike was City captain when I first started going as a little lad. Rest in peace Mike and god bless your family x

[Rodney Marsh's Hair]

An absolute City legend and one of our all-time greats.

I'm sure he had sky blue blood!

Many thanks Mike. May you Rest In Peace.
