Reseña del editor:

Manchester City On This Day chronicles, in diary form, the major events and unforgettable moments in the club's history. With individual entries for each day of the year, and multiple listings for more historic and busier days in the Blues' life, the book includes all the club's major games, promotions, cup runs, significant events and sensational signings. Who could forget May 11 1968, when City clinched their last league title with a 4-3 win at Newcastle United? Or November 7 1987 when the Blues hit double figures beating Huddersfield Town 10-1 at Maine Road? And no City fan will look at the date of September 9, 1989 without thinking of the 5-1 thrashing of neighbours Manchester United. The arrival of Joe Mercer, signings of Steve Daley and Robinho and the date Bert Trautmann broke his next keeping goal for the Blues in the '56 FA Cup final - it's all in here, plus every embarrassing cup defeat and glorious triumph at home and abroad.
