One for us oldies.
Tony Book, captain of Manchester City when they were league champions in 1968, FA Cup winners in 1969 & European Cup Winners Cup winners in 1970 has died aged 90.
He really was a City legend.
RIP Tony & condolences to family & friends |  | | |  |

R.I.P indeed. Somehow looked 60 years old when he was only 30. Great player and manager. | | | |

Crikey, I can remember him playing for City in the late 60's with Bell, Summerbee and Lee. He was a late developer, if I remember correctly. Came into the full time football league at much later age than most. Still can't believe he was 90. | | | |

Amazing to think he was not far off 30 when he turned pro with Plymouth in the days when clubs took chances on non league players, although Malcolm Allison had managed him at Bath City and took him with him.
Good manager for Man City as well, running Liverpool very close for the first division title the season after we did and also won them their last trophy as well before they became Abu Dhabi FC. |  |
