Neil Young (born February 17th 1944) is a former Manchester City striker who famously scored the only goal in the 1969 FA Cup final. Made 334 appearances for City and scored 86 goals before being transferred to Preston North End during the 1971/72 season.

At Deepdale he made 68 appearances and scored 18 goals before moving to
Rochdale during the 1973/74 season.

Widely regarded as one of Manchester City's most important players of the modern era, Young rarely gains the plaudits earned by his colleagues Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee.

Early in 2008 a petition was started to gain Neil Young a testimonial game.
