4th Minute Wembley Tribute!

Last updated : 26 February 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor



In the fourth minute of the clash with Sunderland - Doyle wore the number four shirt - the late legend’s name will ring around Wembley.

The plan was sparked by the 2011 FA Cup win, when fans honoured Doyle’s former teammate Neil Young, who died during the run to the final.

The plan is to break into a chorus of “There’s Only One Mike Doyle” after four minutes of the final.

Mike’s son Scott, who is going to the game, was touched by the idea, saying: “It was a bit of a let down that nothing happened after my dad died.

“He was City’s most decorated player, third on the list of all-time appearances for the club, a Mancunian and a City fan, so that was disappointing.

“For the supporters to do this three years on is tremendous, and we do appreciate it. A lot of the people involved only know my dad through knowing their history - only City fans would remember their history in this way, after the transformation of the club.”
