Falling for Manchester City: The End of the Maine Road Era and the Turbulent 1990s

Pitch Publishing Ltd, 2026

Falling for Manchester City is a nostalgic first hand chronicle of the club’s most chaotic decade – a turbulent period that began with the birth of the Premier League, saw City plunge to the third tier and hit rock-bottom at York, before the sleeping giant finally stirred at a rain soaked Wembley in 1999. The author speaks to the key figures on and off the pitch to chart City’s often-woeful but wildly compelling journey through the divisions. Relive the early promise under Howard Kendall and Peter Reid. Hear from those who were there when club legend Francis Lee bought City from Peter Swales. Marvel at Brian Horton’s fearless attacking football, and savour the brilliance of Georgi Kinkladze, a lone bright light in the gathering gloom. Wince as City slide towards oblivion, and rejoice as Joe Royle plots the journey back. Hear exclusive untold stories from inside the dressing room, and enjoy a trip down memory lane with this evocative portrait of an unforgettable decade.
