Signed picture of John Savage the Manchester City footballer.

John ‘Jack’ Savage. This is a very nice postcard size black and white picture of John Savage the former Manchester City footballer. This picture comes from a Charles Buchan football monthly magazine of the time and is personally signed by John Savage in fine black ink. Savage was signed by Manchester City in November 1953, where he deputised for Bert Trautmann. Trautmann broke his neck in the 1956 FA Cup Final, giving Savage the opportunity of an extended run in the first team during the 1956–57 season. John Savage played just 30 league games for City between 1954 and 1957. John passed away in January 2009.
