Roberto Mancini... actually played at Maine Road

Unlike some others like Owen and Barnes, I’m sure it was Caton agitating for the move away himself.

“I want to play for England. “

When Tommy Caton played against us for Arsenal at Highbury I do remember the City fans mocking him by singing that (he never did play for the full England side I believe).
It never really totally worked our for him after he left us did it!, he had a lot of potential but probably never realised it.
It was very sad that he died so young, early 30s with young kids too.

Things that are funny when you’re in your teens, maybe might seem a bit silly as a Middle aged man but I spent about three hours giving him “ I want to play for England” at the Soccer 6’s at G-Mex, not long after he’d signed for them.

I liked Mancini as a player, and I liked him as a coach. Nice read from City’s website. Not sure if it was posted before. I am glad the Club is giving him some of his deserved credit.

I'll be forever grateful for what Mancini achieved here. Won us the FA Cup, won us the league, went to OT and thrashed utd 6-1. Shut fergie up too. And that dreadful banner came down as a result of the Aguerooooohhh game. We played some fantastic fast flowing football with Roberto in charge. I can't fault the guy.

He looked a proper class CB for us and the move to Arsenal for a defender seemed the perfect one but sadly he never really fulfilled that incredible potential and talent.
