Yesterday, I went to the Wanda to see atletico. (nothing like cheering a last min goal for city just as a home player gets sent off) 

But back to topic

Outside the stadium they have something really cool, they have 8  players up on banners. Example:

Player A = 1949-1960

Player b = 1958-1971

Player C = 1970-1983

Player d = 1981-1993

Etc etc...  The history of the club fully linked with just a few players. 

Which got me thinking, who would make your list for city linking 1950 to today (with the simple rule, you are trying to use as few players as possible)

Alec Eisentrager 49-57 (or 58)

Alec Briggs 57-68

Trevor Tainton 65-82

Rob Newman 81-91

Rob Edwards  91-97 (or 98)

Louis Carey 95-2014 (ok he was at Coventry from July 2004-Jan 2005, but come-on gimme a break :)

Max O'Leary 2014-Present (Lou Carey probably technically left 30/6/2014, and Max joined 1/7/2014, but I'm sure you can pass the baton over that distance)

I'd like to thank 11v11 for help in compiling this list.

Just for kicks, how would you choose to fill out the non Carey months? 

 

Who in that year fills the gap?

Nearly anyone in the squad the 2013/14 season! It seems wrong to but we could stick in Adam El Bad (2014 to 2016). Did I get his name right :)

What's clear is that we've go through a several shed loads of 'players' (using that term under advice) over the last 20-25 years.

How about this as a list, including some especially popular names. It gets very difficult covering recent times reflecting the trend to follow the money rather than show loyalty, and our tumultuous record in recent years!!

John Atyeo 1951 – 1966 (ok not from 1949, but how can you miss him out!)

Trevor Tainton 1967 – 1982 (or Geoff Merrick 1967 – 1982)

Rob Newman 1981 – 1991 (Amazing when you consider he then went on to serve Norwich for a further 7 years, then Southend for another 4 years)

Bob Taylor 1988-1992 (only 4 years but popular and bridges a gap!)

Brian Tinnion  1993 – 2005 (as loyal a servant, on and off the field, as you will find!) 

Cole Skuse 2004 – 2013 (Cant believe he is still playing for Colchester United after a further 8 years at Ipswich (he obviously moved on from Ipswich when he heard Ashton was coming!!)

Aden Flint 2013 – 2018 (Might have lost a few fans when he moved on to Middlesborough, then onto Cardiff) 

Daniel Bentley  2019 - present

Nice work. 

Skuse and Newman stats are quite amazing really.
