Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has led the tributes to Mike Summerbee for his "richly deserved" OBE.
Summerbee made more than 450 appearances for the Blues during his distinguished playing career and the thrilling, triumphant football he produced alongside Colin Bell and Franny Lee will be honoured in statue form outside the Etihad Stadium. The club great still serves as an ambassador at the Etihad and can often still be spotted mingling with supporters on European away days.
Since recovering from prostate cancer that was diagnosed in 2012, Summerbee has also been an active campaigner for Prostate Cancer UK and The Christie Hospital in Manchester. He has been awarded an OBE by the Queen in recognition of his services to football and charity.
