Up one season, down the next there's never a dull moment at Manchester City. Their loyal fans have ridden the roller-coaster of English football's wildest ups and downs for so long they hardly know which division they're in, yet they keep coming back for more. It's all recorded in The Little Book of Man City, a quickfire selection of the wit and wisdom of the great characters who have passed through the hallowed portals of Maine Road. From outspoken managers such as Malcolm Allison, Joe Royle and Kevin Keegan, via garrulous fans such as Radio I's Mark and Lard and the Gallagher brothers to voluble players such as Franny Lee, Dennis Tueart, Rodney Marsh, Eyal Berkovic and Paulo Wanchope, here are 150 funny and biting quotes for the avid fan of "the only club in Manchester". As their despairing chaplain once said, "Imagine where City would be if I hadn't been praying for them all these years." Now they're back in the Premiership under Kevin Keegan and City fans' enthusiasm is set to hit new heights.
