10 Things You Didn't Know About Man City

2. There Is A Manchester City F.C In Sierra Leone

Yes, in Sierra Leone. Based in Freetown, the capital of the country, the club play in the second tier of the Sierra Leone league system and is an offshoot of the local supporters club, which believe it or not is the largest non-UK based Man City supporters club in the world. The club was established by Armani Kamara in 2004 after a €˜chance€™ meeting with a City fan, whatever that means. The fortunes of the African version of City couldn€™t be more contrasting with the ones of the club in the north of England. Renting out its team mini-bus as a taxi funds the club. The bus itself was donated by a collection of City-affiliates in the UK, led by City legend Paul Lake. Until the bus arrived, Manchester City€™s participation in away games was limited to the walking abilities of its players. Kits, textbooks and a variety of other items were also donated.
