exiledinwatford Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Best: Collier & Merrick by some margin Worst: Matt Heywood & anybody. It wouldn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Best: Collier /Merrick Worst: Too many to choose from !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM91 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 as a relative youth, the best I've seen would be Louis Carey and Liam Fontaine in about the 05/06 season, while fonts was still on loan and at the point when in terms of man marking I honestly think Carey was one of the best outside the top division. Worst; any of your pick from the era of Matt Heywood, David Partridge, Osei Sankofa from what I believe was actually the same season. what a difference that boy Gary Johnson made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I liked Carey and boom boom for a time in league 1, Best partnership I've seen though was Henchoz and Hyppia. Immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red84 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Shaun Taylor and Louis Carey will take some beating I thought Carey was at right back when Taylor was playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Shaun Taylor and Louis Carey will take some beating I would agree with this. McCombe and Carey were fundamental in our promotion in 06/07 but Taylor and Carey shades it. Worst would have to be Partridge and Heywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Norman Hunter and David Rodgers 1977-79. After Collier left to go to Coventry and Merrick was injury prone and never really proved himself in the top flight, Big Dave won virtually everything in the air and got his share of goals from corners. Although he was prone to the odd howler, when you had the sheer class (not to mention the fact that he was one of the hardest men in the league) of Norman Hunter mopping things and this was in City's most successful period in living memory. Would also give an honary mention to Taylor/Carey 97/98 and Curle/Moyes, but these were performing in the 3rd tier - Aizlewood and Bryant were pretty good around 1990-1992. Difficult to name the worst pairings, as by their very nature they don't (shouldn't) last long - but indivdual names would be Gus Caeser, Julian Watts, Sean Dyche - interestingly these 3 all came with a good pedigree but just seemed poor when playing for us.

And don't forget Henry McKop and David Thompson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Eater Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Not sure if it was favourite but I used to think Newman and Psycho Humpries were a good pairing, if biff was beaten they never got past psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
