  • Boxers and huge City fans Ricky and Campbell Hatton are the latest guests on the Official Man City Podcast.
    Ricky is a former light-welterweight world champion having boxed between 1997 and 2012.
    During his career, he was synonymous with City, wearing sky blue shorts and entering the ring to Club anthem 'Blue Moon'. This attracted attention from other City supporters, with thousands following his fights from Manchester to all corners of the world as he came up against the best of the best including Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio.
    His 2008 fight with Juan Lazcano was held at the Etihad Stadium in front of 55,000 fans and fellow City mad stars Noel and Liam Gallagher carried his belts into the ring for his bout with Paulie Malignaggi.
    His thick Manchester accent and his humble and personable demeanour means he remains a huge hit amongst City fans - often stopping for autographs and photos on his regular visits to the Etihad Stadium.
    23-year-old Campbell is Ricky's son and still in the early days of his boxing career, although he possesses all of the same enthusiasm for City.
    Here we get all the stories of their lives following City, representing us in a different sport and connecting with other fans everywhere they go.

  • After a sensational return from injury, John Stones is the latest guest on the Official Man City podcast.
    The England international sits down with hosts Nedum Onuoha and Rob Pollard to discuss his glittering career to date.
    Arriving at City in 2016 shortly after Pep Guardiola, Stones has since developed into arguably the best defender in the world.
    During the episode, Onuoha, a former City defender himself, marvels at how Stones steps into midfield and dictates play alongside Rodrigo.
    Stones' ability to come forward was a key component in last season's historic Treble success and again looks to be central to Guardiola's plans in the closing months of the 2023/24 campaign.
    That's not to ignore his capabilities off the ball, with the 29-year-old more than comfortable going toe-to-toe with the most fearsome forwards in the game.
    As one of the podcast's most requested guests, Stones is clearly a fans' favourite at the Etihad too.
    Throughout this 45-minute feature, we get a fascinating insight into Stones' mentality and how he drowns out the noise to focus on the next game and being the best player he can be.
    Our No.5 also reflects on some of the highlights in eight incredibly successful years at City.

  • Mary Fowler is the latest guest on the Official Man City Podcast!
    Here she sits down to talk her early years in the Netherlands, her rise through the ranks of the Australian national team, her international debut at 15, feeling the support from Papua New Guinea during the World Cup and most importantly, her love of chips.
    The Australian forward joins hosts Paul Dickov and George Kelsey to discuss her life on and off the pitch in Manchester.
    Since joining City in the summer of 2022 from French side Montpellier, Fowler has shown her promise in a number of positions across the front line and in midfield.
    Still just 21, the creative talent has already played 46 times for Australia including last summer's run to the World Cup quarter-final.
    Now she's competing for a place in Gareth Taylor's side as we compete on three fronts domestically, with trophies still up for grabs in the Barclays Women's Super League, FA Cup and Continental Cup.
    After the likes of Jill Roord, Bunny Shaw and Steph Houghton, Fowler is the latest member of our women's team to star on the podcast.

  • This is the one we’ve all been waiting for – an in-depth official podcast episode with star striker Erling Haaland.
    Haaland has been a revelation since joining the Club at the start of the 2022/23 season, a campaign like no other in City history as we won the Treble.
    The fab forward was a driving force in these remarkable achievements, as he smashed a host of individual records.
    He scored the most Premier League goals in one season with 36 and the most goals in all competitions by a player at a Premier League club with a whopping 52.
    He won the Premier League Golden Boot, City's first European Golden Shoe, Premier League Player of the Season, Premier League Young Player of the Season, FWA Men’s Footballer of the Year, UEFA Men’s Player of the Year, the Ballon d’Or Gerd Muller Trophy as well as finishing runner-up in the main Ballon d’Or competition.
    Despite missing five games so far in the Premier League across 2023/24 through injury, he still sits as No.1 in the scoring charts with 14 goals, alongside Liverpool Mo Salah.
    In this fascinating podcast, he chats with hosts Rob Pollard and Nedum Onuoha about his initial hopes on joining City, his impressions of the dressing room atmosphere, his thoughts on the Premier League, his debut season and the personal pressure he felt on arriving at the Etihad.
    He also discusses our ‘unreal’ Treble, how he thinks he can improve, his belief in Pep Guardiola, his insistence on football as a team sport, the influence of his dad Alfie, his diet and his aspirations with Norway.

  • City and Portugal defender Ruben Dias is the latest guest on the Official Man City podcast.

    A rock at the back for City since arriving in 2020, Dias has been integral to the most successful period in the Club's history.

    Dias has won all three Premier League titles he has competed for as well as an FA Cup, Carabao Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

    The centre back particularly made an impact in his first campaign, winning the Club's Player of the Year trophy and the Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year awards.

    Since then he has gone on to become one of the Club's five captains and a leader on and off the pitch whether wearing the armband or not.

    His role in last season's Treble could not be overstated, with Dias striking up a perfect partnership with John Stones and adapting to covering as Stones stepped into midfield.

    Dias has now played 156 times for City and is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in our history.

    In this podcast, he chats with hosts Rob Pollard and Nedum Onuoha on his route into football, competing with his brother, taking on his dad’s advice and how he became the player we know today.

    Since joining City in 2021, the 26-year-old has netted an incredible 38 goals in 48 appearances in the Barclays Women's Super League.

    She is also an icon in her home country, helping the Reggae Girlz to the knockout stages of last summer's World Cup.

    In this episode she discusses how she was discouraged from playing football as a young girl and the moment her mum realised her daughter's potential.
    Speaking with hosts George Kelsey and Paul Dickov, Shaw also reflects on her time in the US and how her game has developed since arriving in Manchester.

  • Phil Foden says he can only ever see himself playing for City.
    The boyhood Blue, former Etihad ball-boy and Academy graduate revealed his dream of being a one-club player in the latest episode of the official Man City Podcast, ‘In Conversation With…’
    Asked whether he’d ever considered playing anywhere else or even going out on loan when he was younger, Foden said: “No, honestly. I just always see myself as a City player.
    “I always just thought if I work hard enough and I know what my ability is about, I can push in the team and over time I started getting more minutes and now I'm probably getting the most minutes I've had this year
    “So yeah, I've worked really hard for it and it's thanks to the manager also for trusting me, so I have to thank the manager for that for trusting me and keeping me around.”
    The Academy pin-up boy, Foden is an inspiration for the youngsters coming through the ranks.
    And after watching three more graduates – Micah Hamilton, Oscar Bobb and Rico Lewis - star in  the 3-2 win over Red Star Belgrade – he says nothing makes him happier than seeing others follow in his footsteps.

  • Nathan Ake is the latest guest on the Official Man City Podcast.
    The Dutch international joined the Club in 2020 from Bournemouth and, over the following three years, has become a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering side.
    His versatility, consistency and intelligence have been of immense value to a City side consistently challenging on multiple fronts, with Ake often called upon to play in a number of defensive roles.
    It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the Dutch international though, and he discusses the important words of encouragement he received from Pep Guardiola after an injury-hit first season at the Etihad in 2020/21.
    The defender has more than repaid the manager’s faith during his time at the Club and played the full 90 minutes in our historic Champions League triumph over Inter in June.
    Unsurprisingly, the podcast also involves plenty of discussions around that momentous occasion, including the preparations for the game and the celebrations that followed!
    Finally, Ake also reveals which former City player comes out on top as his toughest opponent to date.

    At 29, he has represented Dinamo Zagreb, Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea before moving to Manchester earlier this year.
    During that time, the midfielder has won an incredible 18 major honours including four Champions League trophies.
    That’s not to mention a runners-up finish at the 2018 World Cup before coming third in last year’s edition.

    And he’s made a strong start to life at the Etihad, playing 14 times as City have set the early pace in the Premier League and guaranteed safe passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
    Despite all of his prior experience, Kovacic admits in this podcast that he’s learning every day from working with Pep Guardiola.
    Sitting down with hosts Rob Pollard and Paul Dickov, he recounts tales from his spells with some of Europe’s biggest clubs and what it was that attracted him to Manchester.
    Then he delves deep into how life at City helps get the best out of footballers and his hopes for his time in sky blue.

  • Alex Williams MBE joins Nedum Onuoha and Rob Pollard to talk about his 45 years working with Manchester City. You may recognise him as the man who presented the Premier League Trophy to the squad at the end of last season, but his association with the club started 45 years ago. Joining as a player in 1978, he became one of the game’s first modern-day black goalkeepers but a back injury led to him retiring from football at the age of just 25. Soon after, he returned in a different role, becoming an integral force behind the Club’s official charity, City in the Community, helping to shape it into the organisation we see today.
    Listen as Alex reflects on his early years following the Club, through to the impact that CITC has had on young people in Manchester and beyond. And we also learn how in one fateful encounter, he managed to put off a young Nedum from ever taking penalties!

Joining Paul is his son Nick, who followed in his father's coaching footsteps to become an integral part of City’s Academy set-up and Head of Phase Operations.

    Rob and Nedum sit down with Paul and Nick as they discuss what makes the difference in a young player, and the kind of support they need around them if they are going to make it into that first team dressing room. And they share their own highs and lows in relation to their own experiences, and the time Paul had to be the one to tell his teenage son that the club was releasing him.
