Niall Quinn, a 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international, is set to make his Manchester City debut after signing from Arsenal in an £800,000 deal. The transfer happened just 10 minutes before the deadline for registration with the Football League. Quinn, who celebrates his 60th birthday today, discussed his move and hopes with the Blues during the City v Chelsea matchday programme in March 1990.
He had to miss the first match with his new team as he was unaware of the deadline. Quinn expressed his excitement to play for City and hopes to get regular First Division action. During his Arsenal days, Quinn scored in his League debut against Liverpool at Highbury in December 1985, and he has scored four goals in nine appearances for the Gunners this season.
