2019 FA Cup Final
City sealed a domestic Treble during the 2018/19 season after smashing Watford 6-0 at Wembley, a joint-record scoreline for an FA Cup Final.
Of course, Ashton was at the centre of attention galloping his way around the locker room. You can see towards the end when Raheem Sterling – who scored a brace on the day – encourages the kitman to slide along the floor.
2020 Carabao Cup Final
Former Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi needs to be thanked for the footage he captured of the entire dressing room serenading Brandon Ashton after the club secured the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over Aston Villa at Wembley.
The Man City kitman can be seen sliding across the soaking wet floor with nothing but his underpants on with the trophy in his grasp.
2021/22 Premier League title win
One of the most dramatic final days in Premier League history saw City clinch the 2021/22 Premier League trophy by a single point.
They came from 2-0 behind to beat Aston Villa at home and thus preventing Liverpool from snatching the title at the final hurdle.
2023 FA Cup Final
Man City’s £100m winger Jack Grealish took up cameraman duties in the dressing room after the Citizens won the FA Cup Final 2-1 against arch-rivals Manchester United.
The England international can be heard giggling at Brandon Ashton’s now staple antics. But he wasn’t laughing for too long because the kitman can be seen sliding into Grealish’s Gucci bag, prompting the former Aston Villa man to shout: “Ay! Watch me Gucci bag!”
2023 Champions League Final
Ashton’s most recent viral clip of his wild post-match Man City celebrations came after the club secured a historic continental Treble against Inter Milan in the Champions League Final.
Clearly this slide was less impromptu than previous editions given how almost every player and staff member line up to make a path for the kitman to slide across.
Kyle Walker can be seen holding the trophy at the other side of the dressing room as Brandon Ashton slides towards it before grabbing the famous old cup itself and lifting it into the air.
