Manchester City is hoping to bring a Champions League victory to a close

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 5, 2022
Malcolm Allison - the brash Cockney who became a Manchester City legend and was responsible for a daring style of play that needs to be remembered - would have been 95 on Monday. Allison, Pep Guardiola's assistant, won a league title, two domestic trophies, and the Cup Winners' Cup before briefly taking over the top job himself. He was ahead of his time in the 1960s, as a progressive coach and gregarious figure both on the grass and in the nightclubs. Allison will often do press work when Mercer's No. 2 is downplayed, owing to his being more quotable. He never played about it, and shortly after winning the First Division title in 1968, he uttered the words that have unintentionally haunted their long-term friendship with Europe for more than a century.
