'A superb book and a must-read for any City fan.' - DANIEL TAYLOR,
senior writer, The Athletic 'A thorough and delicious retelling of
perhaps not the most successful of European journeys, but
definitely the most interesting ... Fantastic.' - DAVID MOONEY, BBC
Radio 5 Live 'A book that brilliantly explodes the myth that City
have no history or pedigree in Europe.' - SIMON MULLOCK, chief
football writer, Sunday Mirror THE ESSENTIAL NEW HISTORY OF
MANCHESTER CITY'S EUROPEAN TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES FEATURING A
FOREWORD BY CITY LEGEND FRANCIS LEE As one of the first English
sides to taste glory in Europe, lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in
1970, City looked set for life among the continent's elite. But as
their domestic fortunes went from bad to worse to absolute
calamity, the wilderness returned. Avid City fan and respected
journalist Simon Curtis dusts off the details of some truly
intoxicating away days. Filled with tales of the club's travelling
support and the evocative accounts of the journalists who saw the
team of the Seventies, Curtis tells the story of a club steeped in
history, defiantly refusing to bow to pomp and ceremony as it goes
about lifting the ultimate prize. After a spectacular rebuild and
having achieved all there is to achieve on the domestic stage,
including a record-breaking 100-point season in 2017-18, City's
deep-pocketed owners have their sights firmly set on European glory
once more. Yet for all their recent success at home, they are
anything but welcome guests at Europe's top table.
