The flags at Man City’s Carrington training ground are all flying at half mast today after it was announced that long-serving official club cat "Wimblydon" had died, aged just 14 (estimated).

Brought in on a free transfer as a stray nearly 13 years ago, the cat was originally given the name "Puss" by the City staff, but all that changed shortly thereafter when the cat moseyed into reception one day just as former fitness coach Juan Carlos Osario, struggling with his pronunciation, mentioned that City were due to play "Wimblydon" later that week.

The name stuck.
