Lew - T Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 So who in your opinion, who was the best and worst ever city player? and your reasons why? Also I know alot of people will say atyeo but please put him as your best if you have actually seen him play. The best player in my eyes was Gerry gow - He made the midfield and was like a engine! top bloke aswell! one of my all time favourite players for city. My worst has got to be Bas savage - I remember we were at home to yeovil and he was one on one with the keeper and fell over! and instead of the fans cussing, there was laughter all over the stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non gazeuse Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 OK so this question's been asked before but as I have never responded I would say: Best - Alan Walsh - no pace but always seemed able to get a vicious left footed shot in. Worst - Patrick Agyeman (however you spell it) - I had seen him play for QPR before so thought he could be useful loan but what a lazy lump and an utter waste of a place. Baz S was hopeless but at least he tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'd probably say Tinman, consistently performed to a very high level, technically very gifted. Walshy and Jordan were also extremely gifted and Joe could really head a ball. Worst, Ben Wright, Ian Baird. Worst keeper, look no further than "Deano".

NOTR Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 The best has to be Sir John Atyeo,worst far too many to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 on a par with phillips Phillips is /was the better shot stopper, neither command their area well and both flap more than a flock of sea gulls on crystal meth...........a truly terrible signing.

BITW Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Bore off RR. Not like there's much to talk about this week and despite it being done to death you felt the need to open the thread and reply. Anyway, best has to be super scott for me, grew up watching him destroy full backs! And worst is probably bas for obvious reasons closely followed by Andy smith.

downendcity Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 John Atyeo was just before my time. The best player in my 40+ years is a difficult one as there are 2 in the frame. Only because he was in the team for longer, Gerry Gow just shades it. He was a tremendous footballer. In the days when tackles were tackles he was as tough as any player I've seen and his heart and passion epytomised the team of that era. All to often he is thought of as just a hard man, but his game was much more than that. He could run at defences, could see a pass and be a playmaker and he chipped in with a fair few goals. Gow shades it from Paul Cheesley, only because Cheesley's City career was cut so short. Cheesley in full flow was a something else and I think the very best striker I've seen at City in my time. He had everything - power, pace, strength and good in the air. When he was on his game, which he usually was, defences just couldn't cope with him and I have little doubt that but for his injury he would have played at the very top of the game. Worst ever player is a very long list over 40 odd years, but I think Baz Savage must be in the frame if only for the comedy value - the funniest worst player.

Coxy27 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 He's by no means the best, or the worst, but surely the most unfortunate City player has to be Andrius Velicka... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 on a par with phillips What!? Dont let Phillips' attitude blind you in his ability as a goalkeeper. Phillips was a very good goalie for us and if he could command his area would of played top championship or maybe lower prem. Don't forget he relegated the rovers by saving a pen, which automatically make him one of our best goalies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_red Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 best - jacki, though bob was an idol an all. worst? cor, we had some right rubbish in our time. Ian Baird and Liam Robinson up front were hopeless. brian mitchell at the back... total tripe that was served up in those times, but it was much more of a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
