Mumbai:
Manchester City on Sunday announced that legendary Micah Richards would visit India next week for the first time.
The club is bringing its silverware to three cities in the country, including Mumbai and Kolkata, after it became the first English football club to lift six trophies – Premier league title, FA Cup, Community Shield, Carabao Cup, Women’s FA Cup and FA WSL Continental Cup, across both its men’s and women’s teams in the same season.
“Former City centre-back, Micah Richards, who made 246 appearances between 20052014 and won three trophies during his time at City, will accompany the silverware in Mumbai and Kolkata,” a media release issued here said on Sunday.
“Our aim is to bring an authentic City experience, allowing fans in India a chance to experience the club they love closer than ever and right in their hometowns. We have been receiving immense support from the City fans in India and I can’t wait to engage with them all,” Richards was quoted as saying in the release.
