Classic City Mag Covers No3 - 2000 Promotion

Another classic City Mag cover was the June 2000 promotion special.  City beat Blackburn 4 - 1 on the last day of the season to clinch promotion to the Premier League. Shaun Goater also picked up a well deserved Player of the Year award. Unfortunately for City it was straight back down the following season, with manager Joe Royle losing his job and being replaced by Kevin Keegan.

Community Shield 2012

An (eventual) easy win for City in The Community Shield on 12th August, with goals from Toure, Tevez and Nasri.  City looked the better team even when they went behind to a Torres goal. A great start to the season.  Up the Blues!!



Classic City Mag Covers No 2

This cover features Paul Dickov after equalising against Gillingham in the 1999 Division 2 Play-Off Final.  The two late goals gave City the momentum to go on to win the penalty shoot-out and claim their place in Division 1.  Arguably the most important match in City's history, this led to another promotion the following season back into the Premier League. This issue also featured an article on long time sponsor Brother who were being replaced by Eidos in 2000.
