Former Manchester City defender, Glyn Pardoe, is dead.

He was aged 73.

Man City made the announcement in a tweet on its official Twitter page on Tuesday.

“Everyone at City is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Glyn Pardoe,” Man City tweeted.

“Our thoughts and condolences go out to his friends and family at this difficult time.”

Pardoe remains the youngest player to turn out for Man City.

The former left-back made his debut against Birmingham in April 1962 at the age of 15 years and 341 days old.

He went on to make 380 appearances for the Citizens during their successful period in the late 1960s.

Pardoe won the league title in 1968, the FA Cup in 1969, and the League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1970.
