The Legacy

Saab served as the front sponsor for Manchester City throughout the 1985-1986 First Division campaign. Under Billy McNeill, the side finished 15th in the league table. Umbro produced this home shirt worn by a squad featuring Paul Power and Kenny Clements in the heart of the defense. Andy May provided options in the middle of the park, while Mick McCarthy added experience to the backline. City competed in the top flight after securing promotion the previous year. Survival remained the primary objective as the club stabilized their position amongst the country’s elite teams.

Key Moment

Manchester City fought to maintain their First Division status throughout the 1985-86 season with high-stakes matches at Maine Road.
