Strange tale of how Man City conquered Europe, 53 years ago
BBC Manchester City captain Tony Book takes shelter as he receives the European Cup Winners Cup trophy at the Prater Stadium in Austria. The TV and radio commentary positions - the only covered area in the stadium - can be seen in the background
A version of this article first appeared on the BBC Sport website in April 2020.
It turns out Erling Haaland is not Manchester City's first star striker to be famous for marking important wins by strutting around in his underpants afterwards.
If City beat Inter Milan on Saturday to win the Champions League for the first time, the aftermath could witness echoes of their first and - so far - only European triumph, 53 years ago.
Haaland might need to up his game, too. According to popular legend, City's celebrations after lifting the European Cup Winners' Cup in April 1970 involved the matchwinner, England forward Francis Lee, dancing on a piano wearing only his briefs.
After talking to Lee, it turns out that particular tale is only partially true but there were plenty of unusual elements to City's success that were completely factual.
