Manchester City were founded in 1880 as St Mark’s Church of England, becoming Ardwick AFC in 1887 and finally Manchester City in 1894. The club spent much of the 20th century in the shadow of their neighbours: two First Division titles in 1937 and 1968, two FA Cups in 1904 and 1934, and a League Cup in 1970 represented their pre-Abramovich era highlights. The 1968 title, won under Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison with Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee, remains the high watermark of the pre-Abu Dhabi era.
The decades that followed brought yo-yo relegations, financial turmoil and a farcical spell sharing Maine Road with United’s reserve teams in supporters’ nightmares. City were a club with a proud history and a devoted fanbase but without the resources to match their ambitions.
City moved from Maine Road to the newly built City of Manchester Stadium in 2003, later renamed the Etihad. Kevin Keegan’s side brought genuine excitement, with Nicolas Anelka and Shaun Wright-Phillips catching the eye, but consistency remained elusive. Stuart Pearce briefly steadied the ship before Sven-Goran Eriksson’s arrival in 2007 brought star names including Elano, Vedran Corluka and Martin Petrov. The foundations were being laid, though nobody could have predicted what was coming next.
Sheikh Mansour’s takeover in September 2008 changed English football forever. Within hours of completion, Robinho arrived from Real Madrid for a British record fee. Roberto Mancini replaced Mark Hughes in 2009 and began building a squad capable of challenging for the title, bringing in Yaya Toure, David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and Joe Hart.
The 2011/12 season produced the most dramatic title finish in Premier League history. Needing to beat QPR on the final day to win the title on goal difference, City were losing 2-1 with five minutes remaining. Edin Dzeko equalised. Then, in the 94th minute, Sergio Aguero struck. The stadium erupted. Martin Tyler screamed. City were champions for the first time in 44 years.
Pep Guardiola’s arrival from Bayern Munich in 2016 elevated City to a level of sustained excellence that English football had never seen. His first full season produced a record-breaking 100-point Premier League campaign in 2017/18. Six league titles in seven seasons followed, with City playing the most technically sophisticated football the division has produced.
The 2022/23 season delivered the ultimate prize: a historic Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, the first English club to achieve the feat since United in 1999. Erling Haaland scored 52 goals in all competitions in his debut season. Rodri won the Ballon d’Or in 2023. Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden have been among the finest players of their generation in sky blue. City’s dominance of the Premier League era is statistically unmatched.
From the Maine Road era shirts of the 1970s and 80s to the sky blue kits of the Aguero and De Bruyne years, Manchester City’s retro catalogue covers one of the most dramatic transformations in football history. Classic Football Shirts stock original and replica City kits from every decade.
Manchester City: the complete club guide
Manchester City Football Club were founded in 1880 and are based at the Etihad Stadium in east Manchester. Since Sheikh Mansour’s takeover in 2008, City have become the most successful club in Premier League history, winning nine titles, one Champions League, seven FA Cups and eight League Cups. Their 2022/23 Treble made them only the second English club to achieve the feat.
The Guardiola era
Pep Guardiola arrived at Manchester City in 2016 and has since overseen the most sustained period of domestic dominance in English football history. Six Premier League titles in seven seasons, a 100-point campaign, a historic Treble and a Ballon d’Or winner in Rodri have defined his tenure. Guardiola’s City have set new standards for how football can be played at the highest level.
Aguero and the 93:20 moment
Sergio Aguero’s goal against QPR on the final day of the 2011/12 season remains the most dramatic moment in Premier League history. Needing to score twice in stoppage time to win the title on goal difference from Manchester United, City delivered. The image of Aguero wheeling away in celebration, shirt pulled over his head, is the defining image of the Premier League era.
The Etihad Stadium
City moved to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003, later renamed the Etihad Stadium following a sponsorship deal. With a current capacity of 53,400, the ground has undergone significant expansion since City’s rise to prominence and further development is planned.
