City oz Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Great list of City heroes. Watching most in past years bring back some great memories. My stand outs are bite your legs Hunter and Gerry Gow. Then a mention for Bobby Reid and Howard Pritchard. Oh and a couple of others which need to be mentioned. Sticks sir Tom Ritchie and Howard Pritchard. I suppose it depends on what era you started being a City supporter and lets hope season 2021/22 brings some quality players to the club that we will look back on in years to come.

ohhhshauntaylor Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Murray and Carey never won a POTY award is criminal when you think Dele Adebola did. (Nothing against Dele) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInSA Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 You missed the l off Lital. otherwise not a bad effort. 5 keepers in there. i think walshy is my favourite on this list. Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Difficult to choose an 11 from that list, especially as there aren't many midfielders. I am not going to be forced to pick Martin Kuhl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Interesting to see so few win it more than once. I assume because we often sell our POTY, or it's just really hard to be that good for two years. Also, I really dislike both "The Whole Squad" and "Award not given". Just commit to the thing and give it to one individual each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That spell of Keeper, Striker, Full back , Full back, Keeper doesn't make it sound like times of thrilling attacking football. But I remember it differently. 1988–89: Waugh 1989–90: B.

But there would have still been a player that played better than others. You don't have to make a song and dance about it, have a photoshoot or even hand out a prize, but you can still record who the player of the year was.

Third successive relegation. Most senior players gone as the Ashton Gate 8. Player of the season would have been the ultimate pisstake. Probably would have gone to Mickey Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, we managed to name a POTY last season when the country was in the grip of a pandemic that was literally killing people. I'd have thought would have been possible to have a little meeting, perhaps at the beginning of the 82/83 season when the worst of the dust had settled, just to note down who played well, maybe send them a card in the post. If this club ever does cease to exist, I'd want our final ever season to have a "player of the season". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still here for the next season, it was that summer he picked up the knee injury but didn't leave for another 18 months after the end of his 20 goal season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
