Harsh comment about Pete Johnson, didn't City avoid relegation, get promoted and nearly reach the Premier League while he was at the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management career He made his final move to Doncaster in 1949, where he assumed the role of player-manager. He later became manager of Northern Ireland (1951–1962), for whom he had 16 caps as a player. He led the country to the 1958 World Cup, reaching the quarter-finals.[10] He also managed Bristol City. 1958 - 1960 His coaching techniques were revolutionary at the time. He emphasised ball practice and instead of endless laps of the pitch, Doherty suggested volley-ball, "to promote jumping, timing and judgement"; basket-ball, "to encourage split-second decision-making and finding space"; and walking football, "to build up calf muscles".[12] Later life saw him become a scout for Liverpool, helping to unearth such talents as Kevin Keegan.[12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember pennyfather though scoring from otuside the box- i think a defender went to the clear the ball and boucned off pennfather's shin and shot into the bottom corner - watford at home or something!?!?!

The Nest Egg Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'm going to be very biased as a young City supporter but here goes... GK: Parish. I could say James, but the guy still had some form of control over his box. Parish was a fly on the crossbar. Not to say he didn't try, but I can't help but think it was always painfully obvious that Fielding was the better keeper despite his howler in the opener against Bradford. Yet Elliot kept getting called out to get trounced. DR: Foster. Quickly got fed up with people telling me about his FIFA card. Brainless, looked like a bloke who'd won a competition to play a game of Championship football DC: McGivern: Thought he would be decent as he was from Man City, how wrong I was. Returned to remind us of his awfulness when we played Port Vale and he finally contributed to City in a positive way. Delightful howler. DC: Nicky Hunt: Need I say more? I don't have to describe his performances as they're scarred into all of our minds DL: Nicky Shorey. Declined very quickly, couldn't play the whole game and got shipped to Portsmouth. Poor Cunningham- must be demoralising to watch THAT play ahead of you. I remember when we signed him the BBC Sport image was him playing for England B against Andorra years ago- I'm sorry but how is that impressive? RM:Campbell-Ryce. God I would be sad when Albert would get crocked and we'd need to put this brainless runner in. CM: Kilkenny. Epitomised everything that was wrong with our club and transfer policy at the time. High wages, had an attitude, and to this day I do not know what his actual role was? He'd pull out of tackles as if ankle contact could impregnate, so not a ball winner. Only seemed to adopt a passing style now known as the 'Crustacean'- small sideways passes with no endgame- this means he wasn't a playmaker. He shouted a lot but had a crippling allergy to the opponent's box, so not a box to box midfielder either. CM: Morris. Derek's mate, was probably paid in champagne and instagram followers. One of the many disastrous 'Scottish Invasion' signings LM: Pearson. Bundled the ball into the net once while he was on loan and was for some reason signed. Because what else could motivate the fans more than a man who takes pride of place in the worst Premier League team of all time? He turned as if he was constantly knee-deep in molasses. FC: Harewood. A failed attempt at what would become Wilbraham's target man role. Did he ever do anything of significance? Not even the best Marlon we signed on that day! FC: Bas Savage. Couldn't hit a paedo with a broomstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Some bizarre suggestions here. People have an odd idea of what constitutes a bad player. Personally I'd nominate Mark Summerbell, Kelly Youga, Dave Partridge and Grant Smith for consideration. Actually, thinking about it, all bar 2 of Brian Tinnion's "magnificent seven" summer signings of 2005 were pretty dreadful: Matt Heywood, Dave Partridge, Grant Smith, Marcus Stewart, Michael Bridges, Alex Russell, Richard Keogh. That's half of a "Worst City XI" right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all liked that Lee Amigos game, but he didn't really do that much in his time with us. I did qualify Fonts by saying "late era": He was pretty dreadful for his last 3 years for us. Almost like a different player from the guy prior to 2010. But I wasn't arguing that the players I listed were "the worst ever" - Junior would not make that list either, despite his flaws. They were just additional names to the poor/underperforming list compiled already. The very worst have already been listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
