City legend Bert Trautmann passes away

July 19, 2013 by Paul Chan

Bert Trautmann, one of the greatest Manchester City goalkeepers of all time, has passed away aged 89. The former German paratrooper famously played on for the last 17 minutes with a broken neck in City’s 1956 FA Cup triumph after bravely diving at the feet of Birmingham City forward Peter Murphy after he broke through as City led 3-1.

The official Manchester CIty website has a full obituary.
