The amazing and jovial Mike “Buzzer” Summerbee is a former professional footballer, who most famously played as a winger and forward for Manchester City during the 1960s and the 1970s. He is now a Club Ambassador for Manchester City. He once co-owned a menswear business with George Best, and also featured in the cult footballing war movie, Escape to Victory, alongside Michael Caine, Sly Stallone, and Pelé.

Born in Preston, but raised in Cheltenham, Summerbee was a talented footballer as a child and joined Swindon Town in 1959. He made his professional debut at the age of 16, going on to appear 200 times for the Wiltshire club, scoring 38 goals. He signed for Manchester City in 1965 for a fee of £35k. Playing on the right wing, he became one of the most influential players in the City side, which won four trophies in three seasons from 1968–70. After making more than 400 appearances for City, he left the club in 1975 to join Burnley. A year later he briefly moved to Blackpool before signing with Stockport County. He was their player-manager in the 1978–79 season, before retiring from the game. He did return for one last match, turning out for non-league Mossley in an FA Cup tie in 1980. On the international stage, he earned eight caps for England, and represented them at the 1970 World Cup.

Summerbee regularly connects with his legions of followers and fans through Twitter, posting pictures and videos about his life around football.
