Player-managers aren't really a thing in football anymore. Back in the mid-1990s, when on the hunt for a new boss, Manchester City promoted tough-tackling midfielder Peter Reid to the dugout while he was still a member of the first team squad. With limited experience, Reid took the bull by the horns and got the Blues playing some excellent and entertaining football - until he was later replaced by Brian Horton and went on to resume his playing career elsewhere. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2011.

When he was signed by Manchester City, Uwe Rosler was an unknown quantity. Having taken a chance on him, the club were repaid with exciting forward play - and a blossoming partnership with Paul Walsh for the striker at Maine Road. But as the Blues went through turbulent times, Rosler could never re-capture his early form and help save the team from slipping out of the top two divisions. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2013 to go through his time with City - and what it was like as a German in England in the 1990s.

It's perhaps every Manchester City fan's dream to represent the club - but very few actually get the opportunity. Rae Ingram is one of an elite club who have managed it. He came through the ranks with the Blues in the 1990s, but was never really able to hold down a regular place in the side. After moving on from Maine Road, his career was cut short by two serious illnesses - as he suffered both Meningitis and suspected ME. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney has been speaking to the former defender to get his memories of his playing days.

How difficult is it to be a player with a big price tag? It's a feeling that ex-Manchester City midfielder Steve Daley knows all too well - he couldn't settle at Maine Road after his £1.4m English record transfer from Wolves, in 1979. The Observer newspaper later dubbed him "the biggest waste of money in football history" after his spell ended with him failing to establish himself with the Blues. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney about the pressure he was under to deliver the good - and how things seemed to just get harder and harder.

Some players end up on the receiving end of stick from supporters for no real reason. In 2000-01, Richard Edghill was the unfortunate player who copped for far more criticism than his displays deserved, as Manchester City struggling in the Premier League. He was a club stalwart - having scored a remarkable penalty in the 1999 Division Two play-off final and been with the team through thick and thin before it. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City defender in 2013 to get his memories of his long career at Maine Road.

Manchester City fans can recognise that, down the years, the club has had a long string of successful and legendary goalkeepers. Joe Corrigan came through the ranks at Maine Road in the late 1960s, going on to establish himself as the team's Number One as the club went on to domestic and European success. He's the player with the second-most number of appearances for City, behind only Alan Oakes, pulling on the goalkeeper jersey almost 600 times across 16 years. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with him in 2012.

Born in Manchester, Adie Mike grew up in the city before joining the youth academy - then the Centre of Excellence - at Platt Lane. He progressed to Manchester City's first team in the early 1990s, but failed to nail down a regular spot despite scoring a couple of Premier League goals in his 16 appearances. After leaving football, he branched out into becoming a personal trainer and studying law - as well as founding a private jet company. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former striker to find out more back in 2014.

Growing up, most Manchester City fans will have harboured dreams of playing for the club. For the vast majority, those dreams remain just that - but for Trevor Sinclair, they became a reality. Signed by Kevin Keegan in 2003, he had a four-year spell at Eastlands, which featured ups and downs - including a couple of Manchester Derby goals. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City winger to discuss his time at the club and get his memories of playing under both Keegan and his replacement, Stuart Pearce.

There are some names that go hand-in-hand with the captaincy of the club. When you say "iconic Manchester City skipper", one of those names that will spring straight to mind is Keith Curle. Signed from Wimbledon in 1991, the defender quickly proved a hit at Maine Road for his tough tackling, ability to play from the back and his leadership. He would later return with Wolves after being sold following City's relegation from the Premier League in 1996. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City centre-back to get his memories of that time.

Often seen as something of a comic character, few can really deny that Garry Cook had a big influence on Manchester City. Never far away from the headlines, the former CEO was instrumental in bringing Sheikh Mansour's investment to Eastlands - as well as signing several players that would go on to lead the club to glory under Roberto Mancini. However, he was forced to resign after a scandal over emails he had sent over the seriously ill mother of Nedum Onuoha. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney had a full and frank chat with the ex-CEO in 2015.

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.
