Looking back through the history books for the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City’s history.

Thursday 18^th December 2008

Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo scores a 90^th-minute consolation as City are beaten 3-1 by Racing Santander in the UEFA Cup.

The Blues still finish as group winners despite the loss and progress to the knock-out stages and the defeat is not a great surprise given the inexperienced side Mark Hughes fields.
