The Legacy

Brother sponsored Manchester City as they endured a difficult campaign in the First Division. Umbro provided the kit during a season defined by uncertainty at Maine Road. Georgi Kinkladze provided moments of individual brilliance, often finding Uwe Rösler in dangerous areas. Nicky Summerbee patrolled the flank while Kit Symons anchored the defensive line. Despite the individual talent available, the side struggled for stability throughout the year. These players remain focal points for supporters looking back at a turbulent time for the club before their eventual climb back to the top flight.

Key Moment

Steve Coppell resigned as Manchester City manager after just 33 days in charge during the 1996-1997 season.
