A two-time Premier League title winner and an England international, Joleon Lescott played with the best during his brilliant career.His 26-cap spell with the Three Lions even saw him score against France at Euro 2012.Lescott spoke to the Official MCFC podcast at Fanatics’ pop-up store in ManchesterToppsThat tournament is where he brushed shoulders with Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole, and John Terry.And in his club career at Man City he linked up with global superstars in four and a half successful seasons at the Etihad Stadium.Among those he starred with domestically were Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, Mario Balotelli, Patrick Vieira, and Fernandinho.However, one player stood out ahead of the rest for Lescott, who was speaking at the release of the new Topps Manchester City Team Set 25/26 collection at the Fanatics Collectibles pop-up store in Manchester.“David Silva, he’s the best footballer, best player I’ve played with,” he said.“He was one of the first people that used to get mad if you didn’t pass to him even when he was marked.“He just wanted the ball all the time. He’s also a great guy and so humble.”Silva is one of a host of Man City legends who can be found in Topps’ freshest team set whether it’s a Rainbow Flick, Collectors Corner, or 161 subsets, or even – if you’re lucky – as an autographed card.The other Man City icons who have their signatures in the new set include modern-day heroes like Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku, while legends such as Kevin De Bruyne, Aguero, and Carlos Tevez are also featured.And Topps guarantee a player autograph in every other box, while there are two sequentially numbered parallels per box.GettySilva had an iconic career at Man City that saw him win four Premier League titles[/caption]You can find Haaland autographed cards in the new Manchester City team setToppsDe Bruyne also appears in the new Man City Team Set released by ToppsToppsSpeaking on the MCFC Official Podcast – live at the pop-up collectibles store in Manchester – Lescott also had a special mention for Vincent Kompany.The Belgian became an icon at the Etihad with his incredible defensive abilities paired with his natural on-pitch influence.He joined as a 22-year-old but when Lescott arrived a year and a half later, four years his senior, he already knew the behemoth he’d go on to be.He added: “Vinny was one of the young players, he was like a Patrick Vieira, we had Gareth Barry as our captain, but we had so many leaders and you could see Vinny was going to become the leader he became.”Present day Man City are finally returning to the form we’re used to seeing under Pep Guardiola after a year-long blip.The 3-0 win over Liverpool was another statement result, while Phil Foden is looking close to his best once again as they moved four points behind leaders Arsenal.Lescott is a two-time Premier League winner with Man City and retired from football in 2017AFPAnd Lescott puts this down to legendary boss Pep Guardiola focusing on what makes the Stockport-native so good in the first place. He added: “When Phil’s smiling, there’s no more exciting player. He’s outrageous; we can’t take for granted the level of technique that he shows and that unique ability he has.“That’s what’s changed now, I think Pep’s recognised that you can do things only you can do, so he’ll put you in areas you can do that.”
