Blue Moon Rising Trivia Quiz

Answer: 2003

The City of Manchester Stadium, also known as the Etihad, became Manchester City's new home in 2003. It is part of the SportCity complex, and was originally built for the Commonwealth Games in 2002. The first match to be played there was a friendly between City and Barcelona, which City won. Maine Road was demolished in 2003, and a housing complex was built on the site.

Answer: Marc-Vivien Foe

Marc-Vivien Foé was a Cameroonian international who was one of Kevin Keegan's signings for the 2002-03 season, on loan from Lyon. He was the last Manchester City player to score at Maine Road before the move. While playing for Cameroon against Colombia in the Confederations Cup, he collapsed on the pitch.

He was stretchered off and medics attempted to restart his heart, but to no avail. His death was revealed to have been caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition triggered by exercise.

As a tribute to Foé, Keegan requested that the Number 23 shirt be retired. A plaque in his memory was erected at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Answer: Mark Hughes

Mark Hughes left Blackburn Rovers to take up the role of Manchester City manager, with a massive new transfer kitty at his disposal.
