Manchester City legend Neil Young has died at the age of 66 after recently being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Young joined City in 1959 as an apprentice and went on to play an integral role in the club's glory years during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The winger scored the only goal in the 1-0 FA Cup final win over Leicester City at Wembley in 1969, and also scored the opening goal in City's 2-1 victory over Gornik Zabrze a year later to claim the European Cup Winners' Cup. He also helped the club to their last league title in 1967-68.
Young's former team-mate Mike Summerbee led the tributes, telling the club's official website: "Today is a very sad day for Manchester City Football Club because we've lost one of our favourite sons and as a former team-mate of Neil's, I feel I've lost a member of my family.
"The team that won so many trophies in the late 1960s and early 1970s were a family and Neil was right at the centre of it.
"We worked together, played together and socialised together and we all feel this loss together.
"Everybody refers to those days as the 'Bell, Lee and Summerbee' era, but it really should be the 'Lee, Bell, Young and Summerbee' era because he was a great player who scored countless vital goals for us.
"He was like a ballet dancer... he was so graceful on a football pitch. I know the tributes paid and help the club and our supporters have given Neil and his family during his illness gave him a tremendous lift.
"Obviously, everyone's thoughts are with Neil's family at this most difficult time."
