Pitch named after Yaya Toure

Manchester City legend, Yaya Toure has had a pitch at Manchester City’s Accademy named after him.

The former Ivorian Captain, affectionately called Uncle Yaya has played 229 games with 59 goals for the current English Champions.

The 34 year old former Barcelona star is expected to stay in the English Premier League but he has made it clear that it will be difficult for him to play against Manchester City.

‘This club was my first wife-even my wife knew it’, he said.

The 4 times African Footballer of the Year leaves Manchester City with 3 EPL medals, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups and 1 FA Community Shield.
