On the day Manchester City FC unveiled their new manager it was also time to say farewell to Jimmy Frizzell who passed away aged 79 years.

A legend at nearby Oldham Athletic where he spent 22 years as a player (318 appearances and 56 goals) and manager. Jimmy joined City as assistant to Billy McNeil in 1983 taking over the managerial responsibilities when McNeil left the club in acrimonious circumstances in September 1986. He managed City until May 1987.

Thoughts of all Cuty fans are with Jimmy's family and friends.

Very sad, I was lucky enough to meet him 26OCT86, and given a guided tour of Maine Rd by him prior to the derby. Then as now I had travelled home from Oman to see the game.

True gent, RIP
 
Distinct Scottish flavour to the club when he joined McNeill, the first half of that first season in 1983/84 was really enjoyable.
RIP.
