Four Man City players receive winners' medals for 1967/68 title triumph

Four former Manchester City players have received their First Division winners' medals.

Stan Horne, Paul Hince, Bobby Kennedy and the late Harry Dowd did not receive medals due to a smaller allocation being awarded by the Football League in those days.

City finished two points clear of Manchester United that season under the combined management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison and the club's request to the EFL for the medals to be awarded was finally approved in January 2021.

The 9-carat yellow gold medals are exact replicas of those presented to their teammates at the end of the 1967-68 season.

Horne, Kennedy and the sons of Hince and Dowd will receive the accolades during half-time of City's Premier League home game against Burnley on Saturday
