Former stalwart Ian Brightwell is the latest guest on the Official Man City podcast...
Brightwell came through the ranks at City - being part of our first ever FA Youth Cup winning side in 1986.
A true team player, he went on to make 380 appearances for City between 1986 and 1998 during a rollercoaster period for the Club.
Brightwell was also joined in the City squad for several years by his brother, David!
In this episode, Ian speaks to hosts George Kelsey and Paul Dickov - having played alongside Dickov in his final two campaigns at Maine Road.
The conversation starts with his childhood and family life as son of two Olympians; Robbie Brightwell, captain of the British Olympic team in 1964, and Ann Packer, gold medal winner in the 800m in Tokyo that year.
They move on to his stories of a fascinating period in our history, when Brightwell was a regular in a City side that experienced highs and lows in a rollercoaster 12 years between 1986 and 1998.
There's also discussion of perhaps his most famous moment in a City shirt, a sweet left-footed strike against Manchester United at Old Trafford!
