The Legacy

Mel Machin took charge as manager midway through this season as Manchester City looked to escape the Second Division. Paul Lake made his breakthrough into the first team under the new leadership, while Neil McNab remained a constant presence in the midfield. Andy Hinchcliffe provided width throughout the campaign as the side navigated the competitive league schedule. Umbro produced this home shirt with Brother appearing as the front sponsor. It was a year of adjustment at Maine Road as the setup prepared for a return to the top flight.

Key Moment

Manchester City spent the 1987-1988 season in the Second Division, laying the groundwork for promotion under manager Mel Machin.
