A former Macclesfield Town FC manager is to attend a free event speaking about his career in football.

Brian Horton (73) will candidly discuss his 16 years as a professional footballer and 22 years as manager.

He will attend an event nine miles from Macclesfield town centre, appearing at Congleton Cricket Club on September 14.

The event is hosted by Congleton Blues, a recently-formed official supporters group for Manchester City FC.

Horton managed Manchester City from August 1993 to May 1995 in the Premier League, a decade before he would become gaffer at Macclesfield.

He is one of few men to have managed the Silkmen on two separate occasions.

Boating a 35.9% win ratio, the Englishman took Macc to the League Two play-off semi-finals during his first spell from April 2004 to October 2006.

Horton returned to the Moss Rose six years later in March 2012, but didn't win any of his eight games in charge for his second spell, in Macclesfield's ill-fated 2011-12 relegation season.

Brian will be promoting his book 'Two Thousand Games: A Life in Football', which you can buy on the link below. (Image - Pitch Publishing)

The event is free to attend on Congleton Cricket Club on September 14, starting 7:00pm.

You can buy Brian's book on Amazon by clicking here.

Congleton Cricket Club is located on Booth St, Congleton CW12 4DG.

UPDATE: The event has since been moved to 12th October at 7pm.
