Club saddened by death of City supporter

Manchester
City FC is saddened to hear of the death of City supporter Brian
Nuttall while attending Wednesday night’s game against Newcastle.

Mr
Nuttall, who was 73 and a Blue since he was eight, collapsed during the
first half and despite the best efforts of stewards and emergency
medical staff in the Colin Bell Stand he could not be revived.

City’s
Executive Chairman Garry Cook told mcfc.co.uk, “Everyone at the Club is
devastated at this sad news, and our thoughts are with Mr Nuttall’s
widow and family. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the
staff and other supporters nearby who did all they could for Mr
Nuttall.”

Brian’s family have asked us to pass on their
appreciation for the hundreds of messages of sympathy that they have
received via message boards from City fans all over the world.
