Following retirement he returned to City as a youth team coach and later became a tour guide at the Etihad Stadium. Now Still at Bradford, but the club has gone into administration. As the club's PFA rep has been in central figure in negotiations between the players and the club. Edghill turned down the offer of a one-year deal from new Maine Road boss Kevin Keegan, and after ten loyal years and almost 200 games for the Blues, took his chances instead as a Bosman free agent. In terms of Barbados commercial real estate, the market has moved from being speculative to reactive. From the late Nineties to 2007 developers have bought land and erected buildings with little challenge to finding a tenant upon completion. Currently our model is to undertake development only where there is guaranteed demand from the outset. Anything else is presently too risky.

I am sure there are quite a few City fans and likely a large slice of the Bluemoon massive who never saw Richard Edghill play, or indeed know who Richard Edghill is.Carlo Nash and captain Steve Howey after the loss that condemned them to the First Division RB: Richard Edghill After a series of loan spells, the midfielder left City for Sunderland in July 2003, moving on to Cardiff on a free transfer two years later. He is currently single. He is not dating anyone. We don't have much information about He's past relationship and any previous engaged. According to our Database, He has no children. Family I just tried to enjoy the game as much as I could and that is what I did. The manager told me to push forward as much as possible and that is what I did. We are discussing at the moment taking a deferment of the wages and so like anybody else you cut your cloth accordingly. We are on contracts and we hope they are going to be honoured, but we're being realistic - we know Bradford are in financial trouble. Some players are talking to the club about extending their contracts but on a lot less money, so I think the club's found the reaction from the players to be very positive.

And it’s not just salaries that have been transformed at the club. In our final feature serialising Edghill’s book, he looks at the changes at City – and how he believes the good times are here to stay. Much was made of Steve Coppell’s United links but when he took over he was welcomed with open arms by the City faithful. We may not have a team full of homegrown Mancunians like we did in the era of Paul Lake, David White and Andy Hinchcliffe but with guys such as Vincent Kompany and Pablo Zabaleta around you have people who really love the club and know what it’s like to be a Blue. The itinerant striker left City later that year to join Crystal Palace, moving to Portsmouth the following year. He won the World Cup you know! It’s true because the medal would make an appearance at Platt Lane every now and again!

And when he’d gone a couple of the senior players commented that maybe they should have stood up and said something to him at that time. On the managerial merry-go-round His net worth has been growing significantly in 2022-2023. So, how much is Richard Edghill worth at the age of 49 years old? Richard Edghill’s income source is mostly from being a successful . He is from United Kingdom. We have estimated The club had lost the old Kippax Street stand, a major source of income, and it was a time of great change off the park. Money which would have gone on players had to go on rebuilding the stadium. A City youth academy graduate and former England U21 international, Edghill retired in 2008 after a stint with Macclesfield following spells with Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, Sheffield United, QPR and Bradford City. Edghill now coaches for City's soccer school and works the lounges at the Etihad on matchday. Terry Cooke

He did some good things, he ended the supposed ‘drink culture’ at the club and brought in Juan Carlos Osario which helped us all with our ball control. We played some exciting football and we were full of goals.I've played in some great games. The Worthington Cup final against Liverpool at the Millennium Stadium has to be the highlight of my club career. And playing for Northern Ireland was great - I've played against France, Germany, Italy and Spain. I can't believe it's happened. Then Having made his debut for Manchester City as an 18-year-old in 1992, Edghill, a local lad, went on to play more than 200 games for the club, outlasting six managers and being part of two relegations and two promotions. At one time he was club captain. Former City captain Richard Edghill has released his auto-biography – giving an honest account of life at the Blues under NINE different managers.

Of course, we’ve got new fans. Success brings that but we’ve had fans in this city who have had to play second fiddle to the other lot for far too long and these days it’s just great to be a Blue in Manchester. This is our city. Well he was a local lad (Oldham iirc) who came through the ranks at City during the very barren years. He loved and still loves City and is as Blue as any of us. Perhaps they just needed a more relaxed style around the club and around the training ground and to be trusted more on the field. Last April, just as my contract was up at Wigan, I played for Northern Ireland against Spain. Playing for Northern Ireland has been special for me, and I've played against some good players. I played against Germany three times, and Portugal twice - I've marked Luis Figo twice. But I never thought the Spain game would be my last competitive game. The Spanish team had half the Real Madrid side in it. Having just played 90 minutes of international football, I thought I was in a good position to get a new club in the summer.

On Lee’s style

Unfortunately for Edghill, leaving City coincided with the most concentrated period of down-sizing the English game has ever witnessed, and despite brief stays with both Leicester and Sheffield United he found himself out of work for a whole season. It was only after a trip to see the Professional Footballers' Association - where former teammate Richard Jobson was one of the advisors - and a chat with former City chief Joe Royle, that Edghill decided to give it one last go. I have had some bad times and some rubbish thrown at me in the past but I feel they are right behind me now and I appreciate that. It is also good for team spirit. New chairman David Bernstein wrote to all the supporters to apologise on behalf of the club and to ask them for their support once again next season.
