Akinbiyi is very close for me, but he’s just pipped to the post by Shaun Taylor. The bloke was nails and good for a goal or two. Of course there’s every chance I’m misremembering the Olden days with a little too much romanticism, but Shaun Taylor is my fave ever. Over to you. Probably JET for me, really enjoyed watching him. Special talent, and the fact he was a bit flawed helped his appeal. Special mention to: Lee Trundle David Noble Paul Hartley Jonathan Kodjia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Lots of favourite players look to be a generation thing.......for me in all the years I’ve been watching City no other player has come close to Gerry Gow. He was a simply magnificent footballer. Walsh and Murray a distant second and third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Neville when I was a nipper and after that Bob Taylor...loved Gav as well. Such an exciting player to watch. Tinman was an absolute pleasure to watch, The ease with which he could pick out a pass was sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stCityExile Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Jacki Dziekanowski, but also a special mention for Jimmy Mann, just because of "that" goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Dave Smith for me. Proper old fashioned flying winger. Closely followed by Gary Shelton. Probably the best player I’ve seen in a city shirt who wasn’t just here for five mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Tinman. We will ever see a player that can pass that well in a City shirt again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Anyone who put in an extended shift for City without necessarily getting the credit they deserved. So, Trevor Tainton, Rob Newman, Louis Carey, Matt Hewlett, Alex Russell, Cole Skuse, Korey Smith. But also for entertainment value, Clive Whitehead, Alan Walsh, Dave Smith, David Noble, Luke Freeman and Bobby Reid. Oh, and John Galley, who was my child hero.

oldstandrobin Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 1. John Atyeo 2. Jantzen Derrick 3. Norman Hunter...........saw his debut at the Baseball Ground v Derby County 4.Clive Whitehead..............for THAT goal plus many others in the fantastic years that I have supported City.

At the start, Super Bob & Mark Gavin Then Martin Scott and Keith Welch Paul Agostino was a cult hero amongst us 14/15 year olds. This century, Scott Murray. Overall for me, maybe Martin Scott. Ive never actually supported anyone other than City but when he went to Sunderland, it’s the closest I’ve come. When he scored the penalty winner against the shitty Newcastle, at Rooker Park in their first meting back in Div 1, I was so happy. And one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet At his pomp at City , He was my partner on a treatment of injuries course - humble , funny and all round good bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 What is amazing is the hundreds of players to have passed through the club without leaving any form of memory in the fan’s heads or hearts . Let’s hear it for the long line of Andy Mays, Steve Galliers , Paul Wimbletons of this world . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Steve Neville, Alan Walsh, Joe Jordan, Greg Goodridge, Mickey Bell, Darren Barnard, Ivan Sproule, Joe Bryan, JET, Colin Cramb - not necessarily the best, just favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know what he did on a Sunday Morning!? Bit of a lie in, walk the dog, go get the papers, that kind of stuff? Or did he just practice winding his arms up like a human windmill?
