Manchester City’s former captain Tony Book has died at the age of 90.
Book, who was from Bath, started his career in 1956 in non-league and was 29-years-old when he got his first move to Plymouth Argyle, followed by a move to Maine Road two years later.
He was one of the most successful players in the club’s golden-era of the late-1960s and early-1970s. He also won domestic and European honors as a player and a manager.
Book began wearing the armband in 1967 and led the club to the First Division title in 1968, the FA Cup a year later and the double success of the League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1970.
Book moved into management in 1974 and would guide the Blues to more League Cup success in 1976 and remained in charge until 1979.
