Thaksin Shinawatra made Manchester City's derby victory over Manchester United last night.

The Thai businessman bought City for £82million in the summer of 2007. He quickly aimed high with the appointment of Sven Goran Eriksson and the arrival of several expensive acquisitions.

However, City failed to shine under their stewardship and just over a year later the club was sold to Sheik Mansour for a reported £200m.
