RedZepperin Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 In terms of a City player being signed by a top club, Peter Spiring (to Liverpool in the early 70s) takes some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Often called Alex Ferguson's worse signing by Man U fans. With apologies to the nursery rhyme: When he was good He was very, very good But when he was bad He was horrid! You must be kidding!! 99% of the glory hunters would not of even heard of Ralph Milne You must remember To them football only started when the Premier league started (oh and a euro final in 68) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Peter Spiring is a bit before my time (I was 1 when he was sold), but Wikipedia says that he never played a first team game for Liverpool... so hardly set the world alight....

1960maaan Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Peter Spiring is a bit before my time (I was 1 when he was sold), but Wikipedia says that he never played a first team game for Liverpool... so hardly set the world alight.... I was so surprised at that I had to check , apparently never made it off the bench. I always thought he was a good player. Aaron Brown... oh wait... ...he just thought he would.... Add to that Jordan's little boy. Paul Agostino (did we actually sell him though?) Wasn't that some sort of freedom of contract thingy. Colin Lee went to Spurs , did amazing things........ well in one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Roy Bentley, he left us for Newcastle then he signed for Chelsea and Captained them during their first top flight Championship winning season 1954-55.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Roy Bentley, he left us for Newcastle then he signed for Chelsea and Captained them during their first top flight Championship winning season 1954-55. Roy Bentley played for England as well. That is bettering themselves after leaving us not sitting on the bench during a season in the prem. Or playing a handful of games in the championship when we were in the championship. A successful career after leaving us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowRabbit Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Newman, Cole, Barnard. Cole is the ultimate of course. Barnard was scoring spectacular goals in the Premiership for Danny Wilson's Barnsley. Weren't Norwich top of the Premiership for most of the 92/93 season with Newman and Mark Robins their top two players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowRabbit Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Although Ruel Fox was a good right-winger for Norwich and later caused havoc with Cole for Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red mist Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 COLIN LEE should have replaced the injured Paul Cheasley but not rated went to Spurs and I think it was his debut against the sags scored 5 or 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North London Red Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Keith Curle played for England (once) after leaving us Curle was capped more than once for England - he played in England's first game of Euro 92 and also played in a couple of the warm up friendlies. Useless bit of trivia: until Jack Butland's appearance in England's friendly in Bern a couple of years ago, Curle was the last player born in Bristol to play for England.
