Sad to hear that Malcolm Allison passed away today.
A legend in the early seventies after he had coached Man City to four major trophies in partnership with Joe Mercer, and became (with Brian Clough) one of the faces of TV football at the time, never short of a controversial quote he seemed like the original Mourinho.
As has been said today he introduced the pre match diet for footballers that is widely used today 30+ years before Arsene Wenger thought of it.
After leaving City he never had that level of success again, but was always entertaining.
A sad loss :)
Really sad news isn't it. He was quite a character was Malcolm.
