The season prior to thew club's dramatic Premier League title win, they ended a 35-year wait for major silverware by capturing the FA Cup under Roberto Mancini. Yaya Toure's goal gave them a 1-0 win over Stoke City at Wembley, sparking a 12-year period of domestic success.

But it's the semi final that remains most etched in the minds of City fans. Again, it was Toure that proved the match winner with the only goal against Sir Alex Ferguson's Man United side, but a late substitute for City that day - Patrick Vieira - also played a pivotal role beforehand.
