Red & Black For Leicester

All Manchester City fans that buy a match day ticket for the game against Leicester will receive a voucher which

In response to the wishes of our fans, Manchester City will dedicate the FA Cup visit to Leicester City to all-time great and Hall of Fame member Neil Young.

It was Young’s trusty left foot that fired the Blues to glory in the Wembley final against the Foxes in the 1969 final.

That was just one of 107 goals that Young bagged in a glittering Blues career that encompassed more than a dozen years and 412 games in all competitions.

Sadly Neil has been ill for some time and was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Our supporters want to pay tribute to a true club legend so in Neil’s honour we have decided to produce red and black scarves for the trip to Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Leicester City on January 9th.

All fans who buy a ticket to the game will receive a voucher that entitles the bearer to a red and black scarf when a donation is made to support the family of Neil Young and the Cecilia Centre, Wythenshawe Hospital.

Scarves will be available for collection from January 1.

Nice gesture, remember him as being an honest footballer. He was Ok until the 29th minute of that Cup Final! Sorry to hear about his illness.

Agreed...

I'll stump up a donation, scarve or not.

After all I did have him in the sweep for first goalscore...

Not a big win (still in six form) but it paid for my Cup final ticket as I recall.
