TRL Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yes...what a quality player. Forgot about him. We had some terrific players that season...in fact it is my favourite season ever under Benny...even though we went down. If only we had kept them all and had another season together...just like you say. Have you seen Seboks career record?...it's rather good. Bloody good, and did well in Europe, playing in better leagues and bigger clubs than us, bagged a hatrick in one international and marked Shearer out of the game vs England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Worse? did okay at Wolves and the we got a nice sell on fee Scored 16 goals for Wolves in the same Division that he scored 20 for us. I'd say that's worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 So is Darren Byfield. As are loads of players who decide to play for a parent's country of origin. Anyway, of genuinely foreign-born bods has anyone mentioned Seal, Brennan, Carle? Well, the question was foreign players, and Akinbiyi is English.

BCFC_Dan Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 What about that big centre half that GJ fell out with and went off to Italy, I have forgotten his name, was he croatian? Tamas Vasko? Hungarian defender who played for GJ in 07/08 then left (I think it was a season-long loan anyway).Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well, the question was foreign players, and Akinbiyi is English. Agreed, but I notice that Byfield had been mentioned by another poster, so I made the point that he is also English. I wasn't disputing your post, Marcus.

TRL Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Scored 16 goals for Wolves in the same Division that he scored 20 for us. I'd say that's worse? If he had played the same amount of games maybe! And a 5 Million Pound to the Premiership from Wolves would suggest he got better. If Leicester had kept Guppy instead of selling him as Adi walked through the door, i reckon his scoring record would have been far better, he was always a ball in front of him kind of guy, and Guppy was that kind of winger, great crosser for the attacker to attack.

spudski Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Playing in the German second division, Hungary and Israel? Hardly Serie A is it? He was completely disinterested once Benny left (even making Dziekanowski look interested), one game under Pulis he only just made it on the pitch as the second half kicked off.. I don't blame him... I wouldn't want to work under Pullis back then after Benny either...19 years as a pro.... 50 odd caps for Hungary... Scored the winner against Munich... not many City players can equal that.

Mahatma Coate Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Jan Moller - quality Swedish international keeper who also played for Malmo in the '79 European Cup final v Forest The way he dished out retribution on Trevor Francis in the cup at Florist was magnificent, one fist for the ball and the other for you Trevor. Trevor? you appear to be on the floor Trevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Jan Moller great keeper and a shame we were so shite and couldn't keep him , Mark Shail was born in Sweden wasn't he ?

Except- to be pendantic- John Atyeo was England's Inside-right in that particular game. . It was the first time since the Billy Wedlock- Joe Cottle era that CITY had two international representives playing in the same game. And CITY was playing in the Second Division at the time.

New Dazzler Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Can't believe we got this far with no mention of Kilkenny.

"Wiki" says it was Arnold Rodgers at No 9 when big John made his debut along with Cyril Williams who had returned from WBA. All three scored in a 3-1 home win against Newport County.
