The author:
Marc Higginson is an experienced BBC Sport journalist and lifelong Manchester City supporter. Despite the heartache, he wouldn’t swap his experiences of watching Terry Phelan bombing down the left wing or Georgi Kinkladze making mincemeat of opposition midfields for anything. Yes, there were lows – but the highs were and continue to be spectacular. Marc is the proud father of three boys: Luca, Leo and Arlo.
