Four former Manchester City players have been awarded medals in recognition of their contribution to the club's 1967-68 title-winning season.

Stan Horne, Paul Hince, Bobby Kennedy and the late Harry Dowd did not receive medals due to a smaller allocation being awarded by the Football League in those days.

City finished two points clear of Manchester United that season under the combined management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison and the club's request to the EFL for the medals to be awarded was finally approved in January 2021.
