Probably best known for his 1985 debut album, which came out of nowhere, written and produced by the likes of Paul Laurence and Barry Eastmond. The title track, Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake) made our Top 20. One of the soul voices of recent times.
They can put plenty of asterisk next to City's titles in the record books but those tiles have been won and celebrated, unforgetable life moments.
If the Premier L.eague are really serious about punishing cheats, making a real example of them they should be ensuring that City win nothing meaningful for many years.
I paused the tackle last night and when the ball leaves the two of them both of the Preston players legs are still behind Cirkin's left leg. His right leg doesn't come in to play.
I really can't see the club appealing and they shouldn't.
A word with someone about the Ref I would be in favour of. We can debate whether Cirkin's tackle merited a red card all day long but the red card was given because the Referee crumbled under the pressure from the Preston players which is wrong.
It looked an impressive miss from a yard out but the defender was right on top of him. Putting a positive spin on it at least Alfie was exactly where he was supposed to be.
There is always going to be an element of follow through with a sliding tackle but usually that involves both legs. The real contact between the two players appears to be around Cirkin's knee area.
Looking at the incident in real time you can begin to understand, just begin, why the decision was made. However watching how the whole incident plays out I am convinced that the decision was made due to the Preston players surrounding the Referee and he caved in.
Angle of the ball suggests the Preston player got there first. It appears that Cirkin's left foot didn't touch the Preston player and that the Preston player fell over his leg.
