More Infos about this Team :
Manchester City Football Club is an English football club based in the city of Manchester. Formed in 1880 as St. Marks (West Gorton), they went on to become Ardwick A.F.C. in 1887 before finally becoming Manchester City F.C. in 1894. The club have won the League Championship twice, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and the European Cup Winners Cup once. Manchester City's most successful period came in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when they acquired several trophies under the management team of Joe Mercer and assistant Malcolm Allison, and with great players such as Colin Bell.
The club have not won a major honour since 1976. The club's decline led to relegation twice in three years in the 1990s, meaning they spent one year in the third tier of English football. However, the club has since regained FA Premier League status, putting City back in the top flight, the division in which they have spent the majority of their history. The club enjoys a large fanbase, regularly attracting more than 40,000 to their home ground, the City of Manchester Stadium.
