As Manchester City's players hoisted the European Cup Winners' Cup trophy into the dark, wet Austrian sky, they likely thought it was going to be the first of many triumphs on the continent.
The year was 1970, and Joe Mercer's City had avenged their demons to win a first European trophy in the club's history. Their run to the final in Vienna had seen a star-studded squad summon every ounce of strength, quality and determination, and victory was the least they deserved.
The City team of the late 1960s remains one of the greatest sides in the club's history. The likes of Colin Bell, Francis Lee, Tony Book, and Mike Summerbee are not just City legends, but English footballing legends too.
