Without doubt one of the great coaches of his era, flamboyant and larger than life.
He'll be sadly missed.

Nice one Mugger

We had (as always) a Manchester radio station on at work this morning ....... when the sad news of Malcom Allisons death was anounced it was actually a shock that he made it to 83 years of age ! he did like a drink and a cigar and a woman or two !

To cut a long story short i jumped in my works van at lunchtime and drove the short distance to eastlands , there were loads of fans paying their respects and MCFC had a picture of Malcom on a big screen near the main entrance just after City had won the 1st division title ....... he was wearing the very same style (Retro) tracksuit the Man City squad are wearing this season

Awesome coach in his time , his fitness and tactical nous were way before there time and he and Joe Mercer were a very very special part in Citys history.

RIP MALCOM ALLISON

Couple more for you Dodge.......
