My 1st City Manager only to be undermined by that Megalomaniac Swales, an incredible devoted Player, Manager & Man to our club.
It always gave me great joy that men such as Tony got to see the return of great days again.
RIP Tony.

An integral part of the team that I grew to love as a six year old. The image of Tony lifting the FACup in 1969 is indelibly stamped in my mind.
RIP Tony Book.

Mr Manchester City. You will be greatly missed Skip. Hope there is a big send off planned next home game. We've lost some legendary blues lately first Tommy now Tony so sad but glad they saw us reach the promised land.

Gutted to hear this news.
Thought he would have got the King's telegram.
R I P Skip.

Legend
RIP :-(

I reckon he'll already be kicking a ball about with his mates Bell, Lee, Young, Pardoe and Doyle

Having listened to me stepfather talk about them I wish I'd been alive to witness them in person.
Proper footballers who wouldn't understand the pampering players get these days

RIP Tony Book

I have a City shirt with your name on the back, I’ve treasured it for years.

Really sad news - I was lucky enough to see him play for City at Maine Road in the 72/73 and 73/74 seasons and through the Supporters Club I was fortunate to meet him many times over the last few years, always a gentlemen, always had time to chat to fans, he will be a real miss. I hope City do something special for him next home game!

 

[BillCarlisle]

A sad day. A great player and captain. Most of all, a very decent human being. RIP Skip - you were truly one of a kind.
