The Worst of Friends: Malcolm Allison, Joe Mercer and Manchester City
July 1965: Manchester City are on the scrapheap, managerless and languishing in Second Division mediocrity. Desperate to reverse the club's fortunes, the board turns to Joe Mercer, a respected football veteran hungry for a final chance to achieve management glory. Yet age and ill health are against Joe: he needs an assistant, and volatile, ambitious coaching genius Malcolm Allison is his man. Recently sacked from managing Plymouth for sleeping with a director's wife, Malcolm is out to prove that his innovative tactics can breathe new life into the staid English game.
Lows, Highs and Balti Pies: Manchester City Ruined My Diet
Lows, Highs and Balti Pies comprises vivid, colourful and highly individual recollections of City's most memorable games over the past 37 years. One hundred matches are featured, starting with a 5-2 drubbing of Sheffield United in 1967 and ending with the 4-1 triumph in the first derby at the cursed City of Manchester Stadium. Not all of the games in between provided quite as much pleasure. The book contains affectionate portraits of the City greats down the years, together with forthright appraisals on the rich assortment of blundering buffoons which the club has seen fit to inflict upon its famously loyal supporters.
Colin Bell - Reluctant Hero: The Autobiography of a Manchester City and England Legend
Most Manchester City supporters regard Colin Bell as their club's best ever player. He graced the midfield during their greatest years as they won all domestic and European honours, and represented England 48 times before a serious knee injury ended his career prematurely when he was just 29. Now, in this revealing autobiography, 'King Colin' has opened up. He talks about never knowing his mother, who died when he was a baby, and of being brought up by his aunt and then his father and older sister. He then leads us through the glory years, singles out his greatest opponents and compares the modern game with the era he dominated, before sharing his views on the infamous tackle in a Manchester derby that ended his footballing dreams.

Listed in reverse chronological order, a potted history of each player will feature alongside ratings for best goal, most memorable on-field moment, personalised terrace chants, monetary values at career peak and much more. "Crowd Idols" humorously sums up just why these 50 players were so popular with supporters and, in some cases, why some proved so unpopular with their managers.
