Manchester City fans can recognise that, down the years, the club has had a long string of successful and legendary goalkeepers. Joe Corrigan came through the ranks at Maine Road in the late 1960s, going on to establish himself as the team's Number One as the club went on to domestic and European success. He's the player with the second-most number of appearances for City, behind only Alan Oakes, pulling on the goalkeeper jersey almost 600 times across 16 years. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with him in 2012.

Born in Manchester, Adie Mike grew up in the city before joining the youth academy - then the Centre of Excellence - at Platt Lane. He progressed to Manchester City's first team in the early 1990s, but failed to nail down a regular spot despite scoring a couple of Premier League goals in his 16 appearances. After leaving football, he branched out into becoming a personal trainer and studying law - as well as founding a private jet company. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former striker to find out more back in 2014.

Growing up, most Manchester City fans will have harboured dreams of playing for the club. For the vast majority, those dreams remain just that - but for Trevor Sinclair, they became a reality. Signed by Kevin Keegan in 2003, he had a four-year spell at Eastlands, which featured ups and downs - including a couple of Manchester Derby goals. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City winger to discuss his time at the club and get his memories of playing under both Keegan and his replacement, Stuart Pearce.

There are some names that go hand-in-hand with the captaincy of the club. When you say "iconic Manchester City skipper", one of those names that will spring straight to mind is Keith Curle. Signed from Wimbledon in 1991, the defender quickly proved a hit at Maine Road for his tough tackling, ability to play from the back and his leadership. He would later return with Wolves after being sold following City's relegation from the Premier League in 1996. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City centre-back to get his memories of that time.

Often seen as something of a comic character, few can really deny that Garry Cook had a big influence on Manchester City. Never far away from the headlines, the former CEO was instrumental in bringing Sheikh Mansour's investment to Eastlands - as well as signing several players that would go on to lead the club to glory under Roberto Mancini. However, he was forced to resign after a scandal over emails he had sent over the seriously ill mother of Nedum Onuoha. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney had a full and frank chat with the ex-CEO in 2015.

Despite being very much a Scotsman, Willie Donachie began life as a footballer in England with Manchester City. He came through the ranks a tough-tackling, no-nonsense defender, eventually breaking into the team in 1970 - having been around the first team set-up since the late 1960s. After a glittering career with the club as a player, he'd later return as part of Joe Royle's backroom staff and became a key figure in the club's rise back to the Premier League after years in the doldrums. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2017.

Who scored the winning goal in the most exciting FA Cup comeback in the competition's history? Of course, Manchester City fans will have no hesitation in saying Jon Macken - his header in the closing stages secured a 3-4 win with Kevin Keegan's ten-man City side at White Hart Lane, when they'd been 3-0 down at half time. His career with the Blues was very stop-start, as injuries curtailed his appearances - but he certainly made an impact in some important matches. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with him in 2011.

After retiring, Manchester City's current stars won't have to worry too much about how they'll pay the bills. However, for generations in the past, that wasn't the case - and for Paul Moulden (pictured here playing for Oldham), who was with the Blues for five years until 1989, it was a surprising change of direction. After hanging up his boots in 1999, the striker - who had broken records at youth level before joining City - moved into the fast food industry, opening Paul's Chippy. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney went to sample his fish and chips.

Brought in to help Manchester City's promotion push from the third tier in November 1998, Gareth Taylor found himself in the midst of a third play-off final of his career at Wembley. Having lost twice already, Taylor came off the bench with the Blues 1-0 down in the closing stages - and he must have felt it was going to be three on run when Gillingham scored their second moments later. However, Taylor and the rest of the team fought back to win on penalties. He's given his memories of that era to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney.

A quick YouTube search will find one of the worst moments of Jamie Pollock's football career. With City battling to stay in Division One in the penultimate game of 1997-98, he scored what's been dubbed "the best own goal of all time" - intercepting a pass and heading the ball over his teammate in goal, Martyn Margetson. The then-captain, though, didn't shirk responsibility - he played a big part in City's back-to-back promotions from Division Two, as the team returned to the Premier League in style. In 2020, the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney spoke to him.
