Former Players Association
About us
The Former Players Association would like to pay their respect to former President, Francis Lee, following his passing on 2nd October 2023.
The Manchester City Former Players Association was created to bring together former players who had represented City across the years. The Association has brought together former players from many eras, from those who have finished playing in the last ten years to players who represented City in the 1960’s.
Funds are raised by organising annual End of Season Dinners, Golf Days and other events that the former players attend. The Association raises funds by working closely with Manchester City Football Club, who donate prizes for the Former Players Association events. The Association also work closely with the Official Manchester City Supporter Clubs who support the Former Players Association
