City forward Neil Young has died
FORMER Manchester City forward Neil Young has died at the age of 66.
Young joined City in 1959 as an apprentice and went on to play a big role in the club's glory years during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
An official statement from the Eastlands outfit said: "Quiet and shy away from the game, he rarely visited the club in his later years, though still followed the Blues' progress keenly.
"He will be sadly missed by his wife Carmen, family, friends and everyone connected with Manchester City."
Born and raised locally in Fallowfield, Young finished top scorer for City in their title-winning season of 1968, netting twice in the 4-3 title-clinching victory at Newcastle on the final day of the campaign.
He also scored for the club he supported as a boy when City won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970.
The frontman played alongside fellow club greats Francis Lee, Colin Bell, and Mike Summerbee but failed to win any England international recognition.
He was inducted into the Manchester City Hall of Fame in 2008 in acknowledgement of his services to the club
