Captain, manager, assistant manager, first team coach, academy coach, honorary president – there isn’t much Tony Book hasn’t done in his 54 years with the Club.
So who better to select his Dream Manchester City XI?
Who makes Skip’s all-time squad? Wonder no more…
Take it away, Tony…
“I’ll start with Big Joe in net – a fantastic goalkeeper who was my No.1 throughout my managerial years.
“My back four would be Pablo Zabaleta at right-back, Dave Watson and Vinnie Kompany in central defence and Glyn Pardoe at left-back.
“In the middle, I’d have Colin Bell, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva – what a trio that would have been!
“Up front, I’d have Buzzer on the right, with Franny Lee and Sergio Aguero. Plenty of goals in there, I think.
“So, a top keeper, a back four with talent who were as tough as nails; a midfield with energy and creativity and a fearsome forward line.
“Definitely a team I’d want to watch!”
