Their story

More than a name and a date.

Brian Hargreaves was born in Moss Side and carried Manchester with him throughout his life. Brian was proud of where he came from, proud of his family, and proud to support Manchester City FC through every high, low, hopeful season and unforgettable matchday.

Football was never just a game to Brian. It was routine, conversation, friendship and memory. He loved the sound of the crowd, the familiar walk to the ground, the colours, the songs, and the feeling of belonging that came with supporting Manchester City FC.

Away from football, Brian was known for kindness, humour and loyalty. He had a way of making ordinary days feel warmer, and his family will always remember the stories, the laughter and the steady love he gave so freely.

“City till I die.”
