In a career spanning 14 years from 1962 to 1976, in total, Glyn made 380 appearances for Manchester City, his only club, and netted 22 goals, before a bad injury curtailed a glittering career.

The club's ambassador Mike Summerbee led the tributes and termed Pardoe as a 'wonderful person'.

"Glyn was our youngest ever player and he was a superb footballer... He used to play as a forward because he loved scoring goals and in training he would always be upfront," the club's official website quoted Summerbee as saying.

"He was a wonderful person - very shy and quiet and he underestimated himself as a footballer and his contribution to this football club was outstanding," he added. (ANI)
