Sad news. Mike Summerbee will be hard hit by this. Great photo of Tony Book with all three trophies at his feet on the Maine Road pitch, if someone can post it.
R.I.P.

Fuck that not having that must be photoshopped as we keep hearing we have no history from before Sheikh Mansour took over ..edit brilliant pic by the way ..

Again the lyrics really hit home, they always do at times like this.... Bell, Lee, Doyle et al.

"maybe in another generation....."

really makes me reflect about what a great club we've always been and Tony was an intrinsic part of the fabric as @mackenzie says above.

.... and still Sky don't consider it to be newsworthy..... everyday I am becoming more aware as to why I despise the moneygrabbing arselicking twats.

Yes, that quote from the song is very poignant at the minute.

I'd like the new North stand to be christened The Book End because I was so disappointed when we didn't get The Bell End.
R.I.P. - absolutely top man.

Is it that far from the Lazer Blue that Kappa gave us, that a lot of blues hated? I actually didn't mind it; some of the lighter sky blue kits look very washed out

RIP Skip a true blue legend

RIP Skip.
Tony-Book - Mr Manchester City.
Amazing career considering he started at City at the age of 31!
Great guy. Lovely to talk to and an amazing full back and captain.

 

[bluemanchester]

I bought that and used to sing and play it with my children. Great memories of a great team and a fantastic captain.
Rest in peace Skip.

Rest in Peace Skip, a true legend and ambassador of our club.

The BBC have now made this a main story on their football page:
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/ckgr0ely6geo

Thanks to whoever it was at the BBC who made this happen. Thoroughly deserved.

I would think that after all the complaints they must have received they had to do something.
I complained at 12.15 and I know others who complained a little later, quite a few before 12.45.
Absolute disrespect from the BBC. Disgraceful.

Thank you Skipper, Rest in Peace, the privilege was all mine x, my thought and prayers are with your family and friends.

Absolutely gutted, a true City legend. One of his friends I got to know when Tony and his friend's and their wives used to drink in the same bar as me in Tenerife messaged me to tell me today. Sadly they are the only couple still complete and coming over to Tenerife.
They were all a lovely friendly crowd and it was an honour to get to know Tony so we'll, a truly lovely bloke.
Rest easy skip, your many decades of service to our great club is now over.
