John Bond Dies, Here's The Former Manchester City Manager's Job Interview! (VIDEO)

WATCH: John Bond's City Job Interview

John Bond, the former Norwich City and Manchester City manager, has died aged 79.

You will have read the countless obituaries dedicated to the West Ham United playing legend, so here is Bond's interview - his actual job interview - for the Manchester City job in 1981, as captured in the documentary City!

Back then City were often accompanied by the adjective 'typical', Malcolm Allison had just been sacked, Peter Swales was the chairman and they were five years into a 35-year trophyless stretch.

Brendan Rodgers has achieved David Brent status thanks to Being: Liverpool, so fortunately the release of City! pre-dated Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's The Office by 20 years.

Bond did at least guide the Citizens to an FA Cup final in 1981. But, what with the year ending in '1', Tottenham Hotspur prevailed.
