Chasing Immortality is the story of Manchester City's epic 2022/23 season, when for the first time this century an English side completed the ultimate treble.
It was a season like no other, carved into two distinct segments by the insertion of the Qatar World Cup. And for City, also punctuated by the minor distraction of 115 charges from the Premier League relating to alleged financial irregularities.
It's the story of a group of elite players of whom the two with the most to prove did so emphatically, one producing the finest debut season ever witnessed in top-flight English football, the other discarding the tag of £100m misfit by delivering a raft of outstanding performances - and celebrating accordingly. It's about a manager who every season strengthens his claim to be the most influential of all time, whose tactical innovation continues to astound. Ultimately, it's the story of a season to be cherished and remembered forever.
Steve Mingle is the author of several books on Manchester City, including Fifty Years of Manchester City and From Balti Pies to the Biggest Prize. He's a long-standing City season-ticket holder for whom the memories of the dark decades make recent events even sweeter. Steve spends much of his retirement watching cricket at the real Old Trafford, listening to vintage vinyl and drinking more Burgundian wine than doctors typically recommend.
