Earlier this week, there was further cause for celebration, as lifelong Blue Olga Halon marked her 100th birthday.

A much-loved member of the City family, Olga stands proudly as one of our longest-standing supporters and has earned deserved recognition for her unwavering loyalty in recent years.

Alongside her older sister Vera Cohen - also a lifelong fan who sadly passed away in February - Olga proudly stepped out onto the Etihad Stadium pitch as a Club Mascot back in 2018.

The siblings had supported the Club for more than 85 years, with Olga having held a Seasonticket since 1930!

The previous year, the pair had received a surprise visit in their home from former captain Vincent Kompany, as part of the Club's 'Nothing Without You' campaign.

In celebration of Olga's special Century this week, she received a phonecall in the morning from Club Ambassador Mike Summerbee.

Later in the day, whilst celebrating with her granddaughter, Olga then received a surprise visit from City in the Community Ambassador Alex Williams, who presented her with a special framed shirt with 'Olga 100' emblazoned on the back.

She was also given a bouquet of flowers and personal letter from the Club.

Happy birthday, Olga! Many happy returns.
