When it comes to moments that changed the course of Manchester City's history, there can be few quite as momentous as Paul Dickov's last-ditch equaliser in the 1999 Division Two play-off final.

City had slid down into the third tier for the very first time two just years on from playing in the Premier League, and came head-to-head with Gillingham in the final with a place in what is now the Championship on the line.
