Mike's team hard to beat

City have some new "signings" this season off the pitch as well as on it - but the "new boys" will be instantly recognisable to supporters lucky enough to enjoy their company on match days.
Tony Book, Joe Corrigan and Paul Lake have all joined the select band of popular former Blues who put the icing on our hospitality cake by meeting, greeting and helping to make our fans' big day.
That illustrious trio needs no introduction to any True Blue, and neither does the rest of the star-studded hospitality team that Club Ambassador Mike Summerbee has assembled this season.
Check out Mike's line-up of Alex Williams, Gary Owen, Fred Eyre, Tommy Booth, Colin Bell and Peter Barnes, add new faces Book, Corrigan and Lake, and that's a Premier team to savour.
While the Club looks to the future with confidence and optimism, our past will never be forgotten and City are proud that some of the legends of the game are still able to play their part.
Mike Summerbee said: "What a great bunch of lads we've got together, and I know our supporters really appreciate it.
This club has always had a strong bond with its former players - we even have our own lounge at the Stadium for match days

My favourite player ever. I idolised him as a kid. Everytime I played football back then I was Mike Summerbee, charging down the wing.
