It speaks volumes for the impact Georgi Kinkladze had at Manchester City that he is regarded as one of their most revered players despite spending just three years with the club.

The winger quickly became a cult hero at Maine Road following his 1995 arrival, with his mazy dribbling and spectacular solo goals endearing him to the Man City faithful.

Indeed, Kinkladze's antics were about all the City fans had to smile about at that time, and despite his efforts the club were relegated from the Premier League during his debut season.

A second relegation - this time to the third tier - followed in 1998 and brought an end to his time at the club, but his three-year stint left an indelible mark on those that witnessed it.

Kinkladze became the first person to ever win the club's Player of the Season award in consecutive years, doing so during his first two campaigns in England.
