Robinho was the first marquee signing made by City’s new owners
In fact, their final game of the 2007/08 season ended in an 8-1 defeat to Middlesbrough.
But Robinho was wooed by City’s new riches and arrived for a club-record fee in September 2008, instantly becoming a hero at the Etihad.
And, in an interview with the Daily Mail, the now Atletico Mineiro star has shed light on why he was such a hit on and off the field at City.
Liked a party, did RobinhoPA:Press Association
Robinho’s party-going antics were well documented during his two years in Manchester, but he’s very casually revealed that he was far from alone.
He said: “I liked Manchester, the club, the restaurants… but let us not forget the discoteca.
“There was an image of me as a party guy. And yes, I liked to party. But you know, the English boys were going out more than the Brazilians!

“Joe Hart was out all the time, Micah Richards the same, Shaun Wright-Phillips was always out! But when the Brazilians went out we were always caught.”
Hart, Richards and Wright-Phillips.
Now there’s an eclectic night out line up.
