In the age of social media and constant football coverage, fans are typically well-informed about new signings for their club. However, this was not the case 15 years ago when Manchester City signed Glauber Berti under Mark Hughes. Despite not playing a single minute for the team, Glauber became a cult hero among fans, who were eager to see the Brazilian defender in action.
Glauber’s lack of playing time was a source of confusion for fans, who were left wondering about his abilities and why he was not given a chance on the field. It wasn’t until the final day of the season when he was substituted in for six minutes that fans finally got to see him play. The reception from the supporters was overwhelming, with cheers and chants of his name filling the stadium.
Despite his lack of playing time, Glauber looks back on his time at Manchester City with fondness, particularly appreciative of the love and support he received from the fans. He may not have earned medals or played full games, but he remains a beloved figure for City supporters who will always remember him as a unique and cherished part of the club’s history.
