The Legacy

Brother sponsored this home shirt for Manchester City during the 1988-1989 Second Division season. Mel Machin guided the club to a second-place finish, securing promotion back to the First Division. Paul Lake emerged as a vital presence in the midfield, while Andy Hinchcliffe provided defensive stability and attacking width from the back. Trevor Morley led the forward line throughout the successful campaign. This Umbro design accompanied a side that fought through a competitive league schedule to reach the top flight of English football.

Key Moment

Manchester City secured promotion back to the First Division in 1988-89 with a dramatic final-day 1-1 draw at Bradford City, Trevor Morley equalising late to clinch second place.
