I didn’t know until seeing this a moment ago that former @ManCity player Peter Dobing has passed way. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Very sorry to read that the excellent Peter Dobing has passed away aged 87. Pictured here with his three English clubs, Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City & Stoke City whom he captained to League Cup Final victory in 1972. R.I.P. Peter 😔 #Rovers #MCFC #SCFC
