Former Man City captain and manager Tony Book dies

Former Manchester City captain and manager Tony Book has died at the age of 90, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.

Right-back Book captained City as they won four major trophies, including the English top-flight title and European Cup Winners' Cup, in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

He later led them to League Cup success as manager in 1976.

Book was subsequently named as an honourary president at City as well as life president of the official supporters club.

"For nearly sixty years Tony helped to shape Manchester City," said City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.

"Not just in what he contributed as a player, captain and manager, but in the way he conducted himself. His hopes and ambitions for his club were matched only by his incredible humility regarding his own significant achievements."

He added: "Tony's devotion to his club meant he was still fulfilling club duties earlier this season
