WILLIE DONACHIE

Despite being very much a Scotsman, Willie Donachie began life as a footballer in England with Manchester City. He came through the ranks a tough-tackling, no-nonsense defender, eventually breaking into the team in 1970 - having been around the first team set-up since the late 1960s. After a glittering career with the club as a player, he'd later return as part of Joe Royle's backroom staff and became a key figure in the club's rise back to the Premier League after years in the doldrums. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2017.
