Brian Kidd (born 29 May 1949 in Collyhurst, Manchester) is an English football coach and former player, who is currently Assistant Manager to Roberto Mancini at Manchester City.
Kidd was assistant manager to Alex Ferguson at Manchester United from 1991 to 1998. In this role he was pivotal in the development of Fergie's Fledglings. Kidd himself was a former player of United and a member of their European Cup winning team in 1968.
Kidd played for Manchester United (1963–1974), Arsenal (1974–1976), Manchester City (1976–1979), Everton (1979–1980) and Bolton Wanderers (1980–1982) in the Football League; and the Atlanta Chiefs (1981) (29 appearances, 23 goals), Fort Lauderdale Strikers (1982–83) (51 appearances, 34 goals) and Minnesota Strikers (1984) (13 appearances, 8 goals) in the North American Soccer League.
He scored for Manchester United in their 4-1 victory over Benfica in the 1968 European Cup Final on his 19th birthday. He earned both of his England caps two years later. Following United's relegation to the Football League Second Division in 1974, Kidd was transferred to Arsenal for £110,000. He was their leading goalscorer in both of his seasons there, 1974-5 and 1975-6.

Moonlight and roses are the goin' thing
Champagne, a little lo-ove, and a weddin' ring
But everytime she lea-eaves it's gonna break your heart
It's happened before, don't come to me, I do-on't want
no part
Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she-e don't care
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it fee-eels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to sa-ay her na-ame, baby let go
First time for both of you makes for urgent love
Gives a feel that it's all unreal, it's from up above
Tellin' some small secret drea-eam and dreams by phone
Terrified there'll be a ti-ime she won't be alone
Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she-e don't care
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to sa-ay her na-ame, baby let go
Walk away, leave well alone, you know you should
To be in love has as much that's bad as it has it's
good
To counsel friends ain't wi-ise but you sure need to
You should know that before you, she did the same to me
Tell ya, Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she don't care
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it fee-eels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to sa-ay her na-ame, baby let go-o
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go-hoh
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go-hoh
But if it hurts to say her-er name, baby let go-hoh
