David Silva/El Mago: A Decade of Magic

[Skoorb]

The official Club tribute book to David Silva’s 10 years with City is now available through the club's online store.

Told in words and pictures by those closest to him, from his humble beginnings in Arguineguín, Gran Canaria, to World Cup winner and midfield legend for Spain.

Perfect Father's Day gift.....

I remain unconvinced, even after 10 years. Sure he's won the World Cup and the Euros but can he do it when it really matters?

Pep Guardiola confirms that Silva will remain with City until the conclusion of this interrupted season and that an appropriate farewell will be arranged for him whenever fans at present permitted back into stadiums...

I feel blue. And not in a good way.

8 minutes of magic ...

a brilliant compilation and the number of times he gets fouled and does not go down is credit to him

 

[Skoorb]

And some more magic......

Watching those clips.......as much as we will miss him, imagine how much our forwards are going to miss those laser-like, eye-of-a-needle passes

Watching those clips.......as much as we will miss him, imagine how much our forwards are going to miss those laser-like, eye-of-a-needle passes

So many passes into areas where the players will run into rather than to the player himself, but my favourite will be the pass to Edin at Old Toilet 1-6

And some more magic......

We have been blessed to see him at City for ten years.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

I wonder if it will be a Stand, Statue or Football pitch they will name after him.

any ideas what it might be apart from the lifetime season card.

I have to admit to mixed feelings about these sudden expressions of appreciation especially as the Football Writers Association never saw fit to award him Player of the Season in the whole decade.

Fabulous tribute. Says a lot to get through a career in the modern game and garner such respect from every quarter.

(Did not know Lescott was back working at the club )

Room for one more?
