27 of the best gifts for Manchester City fans in 2021 twitter facebook reddit twitter facebook reddit

Knowing someone who is a football fan is a blessing, as there are tonnes of gift options related to the sport - alhough when there is so much out there, trawling through the internet for the perfect gift can feel like a sport in itself.

Being a Manchester City fan can be tough. Sure they won the Premier League, reached the finals of both the Champions League and FA Cup and provided a squad full of superstars to varying Euro 2020 sides. Ok, so it's really not that tough.

Still, fans of a certain age will remember the pre-glory days and keep expecting to wake up from this wonderful dream. Those fans who remember when being a City fan was a niche and that victory came but once in a Blue Moon.

Nowadays, there are books for unlocking the genius of Pep Guardiola, Grealish-covered mugs for fans of City's star signing, and gnomes for those who take just as much pride in their garden as the groundsmen at Etihad Stadium.

So whether you're looking for a Christmas present for your dad, a birthday gift for your son or daughter, or maybe even a treat for yourself, here are the 27 best gifts currently available for Manchester City fans.
