Former Man City star Gael Clichy ‘fuming after pint of beer thrown at him’ during anniversary celebration of first title

GAEL CLICHY was left “fuming” after he was soaked by a pint of beer during an event to mark the ten-year anniversary of Manchester City’s first Premier League title win.

The Cityzens were crowned champions back in 2012 after a last-gasp Sergio Aguero goal against QPR.

A host of stars from that team headed back to Manchester last night for a celebratory evening that was put on by the club.

And they were greeted by a crowd of 2,000 at the Mayfield Depot – although one overzealous individual got a little too carried away.

The supporter allegedly chucked his drink onto the stage, which hit former full-back Clichy.

Sky Sports’ Martin Tyler, who memorably commentated on that Aguero goal, was also in attendance but he was jeered as he made his way on to the stage.

Reporter Alex Brotherton tweeted: “Martin Tyler, the voice of the Aguero goal, has been introduced to the stage.

“The reception from 2,000 p****d up City fans is… not overly welcoming.”

Then seconds later he wrote: “Someone lobbed a pint on stage and it landed on Gael Clichy. Fair to say he wasn’t best pleased.”

MEN’ have suggested that the beer was perhaps meant to hit Tyler, 76, before accidentally landing all over Clichy.

Aguero, Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry, Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott, Pablo Zabaleta and Nigel de Jong were all at the bash to celebrate the anniversary of that epic 3-2 victory over QPR.

Clichy joined City from Arsenal at the start of that title-winning campaign.

He made 203 appearances in total for the Etihad side.

Speaking at the event, Clichy said: “I can only compare the togetherness of that [City] team that season with the Arsenal Invincibles team.”
