Anna Trybull, wife of City midfielder Tom, is hoping her new book The Story of Tommy T will teach the next generation about the importance of never giving up.
Tom Trybull's story has been depicted through a pigeon called 'Tommy T', and his wife explained why the bird has a special meaning for the couple.
"When we used to live in the Netherlands we had two pigeons who lived on our balcony," she said. "I didn't have anything to give him on Valentine's Day, so I made up a cute story for Tom with these two pigeons.
"He thought it was very sweet and when he became 25, I wanted to give him a very special present which is when I came up with the idea for the book."

Daniel Farke signed Trybull in 2017 after a successful trial period at the club.
The book contains the City boss in pigeon-form and the Canaries head coach has penned the foreword at the beginning of the book.
"I couldn't tell you what bird I think he might be, but I like that pigeons aren't glamorous or flashy - and that sums up Tom perfectly," Farke said.
"We knew he'd not always had people who believed in him throughout his career but he's a special, humble guy."
