Kyle Walker defends Manchester City players' legacy: 'Glory cannot be taken away'
Former Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has publicly defended his former teammates' on-field accomplishments, arguing that whatever happens off the pitch cannot diminish what the players achieved during their trophy-laden era. Walker's comments appear to be a response to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Manchester City's 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules.

Coming from a long-serving dressing-room leader who left on good terms, his words carry weight with both the current squad and the fanbase, underscoring a sense of pride and unity at a turbulent moment for the club.
