Simon Curtis is a freelance journalist specialising in all things Manchester City. He has written extensively for the club's various official platforms, with regular columns in the matchday programme and articles on the official website spanning a number of years, in addition to regular contributions to The Blizzard, The Guardian and World Soccer Magazine. He lives in Manchester.
A book that brilliantly explodes the myth that City have no history
or pedigree in Europe. Curtis doesn't just detail the club's
adventures on the continent from the late 1960s, he also captures
their essence with accounts from fans who were there.

Simon Curtis is a fine journalist with an extensive knowledge of
the club - he is also a seasoned veteran of many European away
trips. This book is essential reading for all City fans.
*Ric Turner, founder and curator, Bluemoon forum*
If you think that not winning the Champions League means there's no
story to tell then think again. This book provides the story of
every City game in Europe - a record that stretches back 54 years.
Read the twists and turns of City's fortunes written in an engaging
style with quotes from fans, players and broadcasters who were
there.
*Gary James, football historian*
From Down the Kippax Steps to the latest rapture at the Etihad,
Simon's gift for articulating how it's felt to support this
undeniably unconventional football club has been unmatched. In
times of comedy, tragedy, feast or famine, his writing has defined
what it's meant to be City like no other.
*Mark Booth, head of content, New York City Football Club*
"Next stop Mars," said Malcolm Allison. Not quite ... but it's been
a hell of a ride. A superb book and a must-read for any City
fan.
*– Daniel Taylor, senior writer, The Athletic*
A thorough and delicious retelling of perhaps not the most
successful of European journeys, but definitely the most
interesting, liberally sprinkled with the sort of humour that only
a City fan could write. Fantastic.
*David Mooney, BBC Radio 5 Live*
