Happy 60th birthday, Niall Quinn

Former City striker Niall Quinn celebrates his 60th birthday today. Quinn made 244 appearances for Manchester City and scored 77 goals over a seven-season spell. Growing up in Dublin, Quinn enjoyed Hurling and Gaelic Football before moving to football and making his name as a goalkeeper early on. He later played for Arsenal, finishing his time there with 17 appearances, including 12 in the First Division.

He made his mark in goal, notably saving a penalty in a match against Derby County, which relegated the Rams. Quinn's impact on City was significant, and he remains a beloved figure among fans.
