Pep’s bringing his dad on Sunday. 94 years of age. What a feeling it must be for him to show his Dad a stand with his name on it at one of the biggest clubs on the planet. What could make a son prouder, and vice versa.

Former #ManCity staff member on the 2018 Premier League title win: “Even though Pep wanted all these records we’d still go out. He’d be like ‘Right, Sunday, we’ve got a game but Monday, Tuesday we’ll go out’. It was every week. By the time we got to the actual parade my missus was like: ‘You can’t go out again, it’s getting beyond a joke! You’re out all the time.’ I’m like: ‘But Pep’s asking me to’.
"Anyway, we’re in the canteen having a few beers before we got on the parade bus and Pep says ‘Are you out tonight?’ I say: ‘I can’t. I think I’ll be left homeless if I go.’ So Pep goes: ‘Well, stay at my apartment if you want.’
'I can’t Pep, it’s my missus.’
‘You want me to ring her? Come on, ring your missus.’
“Everyone was around us. My missus answered. ‘Hello, this is Pep.’ She says: ‘Who?’ ‘It’s Pep Guardiola.’ She’s gone: ‘All right, yeah, go on?’ ‘Listen, I know we’ve been out a lot recently but we’ve just won the Premier League. I’ll have him home by 2AM.’ My missus just replies, ‘One’ and hits the red button. Everyone’s there howling…”
