ZiderEyed Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Who has played for the club that people often forget? My favourite would be I think Ben Gladwin. Didnt we get him in on loan and he played once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 In City's early league days they signed a sought after defender, Joe Cottle. However Joe insisted City also signed his pal Tommy Radford. Radford made just one first team appearance and that was in a friendly. Tommy Radford must surely therefore be City's most obscure player. Then again, in 1972 City signed Dave Merrington from Burnley who at the time was injured. He never recovered and although on City's books never played a game at any level. I believe the league's insurance scheme repayed the transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Craig Ireland. A CB we had on loan from Northampton (?) who played once I think. The only reason I remember him is that he is the only player I`ve seen play for City whose surname begins with I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packman Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think Jason Roberts played 1 game for us and scored 1 goal, we decided to go for a different striker tho who was awful!! Terrible decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When City played Posh at AG, there was a punch up in the tunnel at half time . For the time City's player was out with "a facial injury", P'boro' lent us Craig Ireland as he played in the same position. That was a reaaaly weird incident; 22 players plus club & match officials in the tuinnel and no one noticed a mass brawl. I believe that by loaning Ireland to City, it avoided reperccussions from the league and/or the FA (failure to control players etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Andrius Velička - loan during that random period a few years back where we seemed to loan a plethora of forwards who all got injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
