RIP
Under his captaincy, City won the old D1 title in 1969 and the FA Cup a year later, as well as a LeagurCup and European Cup Winners Cup. He played 315 games between 1966 - 1974 scoring five goals.
As their manager, he finished second to Liverpool 1977 losing by a point and was also manager of the City team that infamously got Manchester United relegated in 1974.
90 is a fantastic age - George Best described him as "his most difficult opponent" and that's some compliment.
Condolences to all concerned.
