A brand new Manchester City special edition shirt paying tribute to the days of the football terraces, basement raves and bucket hats has leaked online and is officially launching later this week, The Manc can reveal.
The new PUMA x Man City x Madchester collection pays tribute to the late 80s early 90s Manchester music scene that still reverberates today – echoing the cultural attitudes and aesthetics of Madchester – and was teased with posters that were splashed across Manchester city centre this week.
After some research, it seems that the new Madchester product range includes a custom, special edition jersey, which has been snapped up by JD Sports and will be part of a larger collection of items which have escaped the current leak thus far.

Inspired by the generation-defining indie-dance scene that put Manchester on the map and took the world by storm, it’s clear that the collection reflects the city’s cultural attitude and aesthetics of that time.
Much as it does today, Manchester’s thriving music scene served as an inclusive melting pot that attracted followers from far and wide. A 24 hour party, celebrating what makes Manchester the greatest City on the planet – the people that embrace it.

The shirts, which are donned with a melting smiley face (a nod to the famous Sweat It Out warehouse raves that started the Madchester era) appear to celebrate the history of Manchester’s independent music scene, with the number 89 on the back representing one of the most iconic year’s in our city’s cultural history.
The Madchester.com product range is rumoured to include the custom PUMA x Man City x Madchester Graphic Jersey, Graphic and Logo Tees, as well as Crews, Hoodies, Jacket, Shorts and Pants.
The collection will be available from July 8, in JD Sports, via the Man City shop and PUMA.com.

National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings
Daisy Jackson
The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
