The Legacy

Georgi Kinkladze provided the rare moments of genuine quality for Manchester City in a grim 1997-1998 campaign that ended in relegation to the third tier. Paul Dickov worked tirelessly up front under a succession of managers, while Nicky Weaver began establishing his place between the posts. The team struggled to find form despite the presence of the Brother sponsor on this Kappa home shirt. A chaotic year saw the club drop out of the First Division, leaving supporters to witness a nadir in recent history before the eventual recovery of the following years.

Key Moment

The final day of the 1997-98 season, where despite a 5-2 victory over Stoke City, Manchester City was relegated to Division Two for the first time in their history.
