Mike Summerbee surprises 100-year-old Man City fan with 'unbelievably generous' gesture

Barry Posner was present at Manchester City's record attendance, and used to drive players to and from training in the 1940s and 1950s. He trained alongside the likes of Bert Trautmann, and his father was a club doctor on the bench at Maine Road even earlier in the 20th century.

Lifelong City supporter Barry turned 100 this month, and was welcomed as a guest of the club to watch City's FA Cup win over Burnley at the weekend.

After the Manchester Evening News spoke to Barry about his life supporting City, and also growing up in a Jewish family in Manchester, the club arranged for him to attend the Burnley game - where he received a surprise from club ambassador Mike Summerbee.
