I've been reading Mark Hodkinson's Blue Moon: Down Among the Dead Men with Manchester City. Hodkinson spent the 1998-99 season covering Manchester City for the The Times (London). In case you don't remember, this was the year after City had been relegated to English football's third flight - not a happy time, obviously. The book collects all Hodkinson's columns and he adds in a few notes and reports to round everything out. Not the best book I've ever read, (it's actually a bit disjointed reading a series of columns) but certainly it ought to be required reading for anyone who thinks football in Manchester starts and ends with Ronaldo, Rooney, and Sir Alex Ferguson. For more about Mr. Hodkinson:
And one more thing- Manchester City is known as the Blues. Go figure.
