The Legacy
Robinho scored 14 Premier League goals in 2008-2009 after his high-profile transfer from Real Madrid. Manchester City finished 10th in the table under Mark Hughes. Vincent Kompany joined that summer and immediately slotted into the defense, while Pablo Zabaleta also arrived to bolster the back line. Stephen Ireland became a central figure in midfield, earning the club's player of the year award for his output. This Le Coq Sportif home shirt carries the Thomas Cook sponsor across the chest, marking a pivotal year before the club's rapid ascent in the following decade.
Key Moment
Manchester City were taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group and signed Brazilian superstar Robinho on deadline day in the 2008-2009 season.
