Ex-captain lifted World Cups in both white-ball formats and won five Ashes series
Premier League juggernaut smashes Salford 8-0

Manchester City 8-0 Salford City

at the City of Manchester Stadium
THERE was a party atmosphere at Eastlands despite the one-sided scoreline as Manchester City defeated Salford City in the FA Cup third round.
Many of the tickets for this game were available at £10 for adults and £5 for children, and even at the higher price points tickets were priced relatively reasonably at £20 for adults and £5 for children.
This is the kind of pricing that should be seen more often in football.
