The encouragement to stay is massive, it's putting him so far ahead of many of his contemporaries at international level. Most impressive is that in those 49 games he's played 3,531* minutes. That's an average of 72 minutes per game. All but 5 have been starts as well. So it's not like a lot of youngsters getting 10 mins at the end of games that bolster the headline appearances number. Seriously experienced compared to most of his peers. *according to transfermarkt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't turn around, but with AS (Scott) and AS (Semenyo) continuing to increase their transfer value, do we refer to them as ASWAD? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 So if... errr, sorry WHEN, Alex Scott stays at City for his whole career, he could well be on course to make more City appearances than Louis Carey.

JOHN ATYEO. I look forward to his double testimonial... How many "appearances" were a couple of minutes in length contributed to Carey's total? Especially the one that allegedly took him beyond Atyeo. Two minutes at most! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know memory plays tricks, but I am pretty convinced the late, great John Atyeo’s appearances were all as a starter: he may have been subbed on occasion (there was only one sub allowed back in those days, there may even have been none when he started - before my time), but I don’t recall him ever starting as a sub and coming on for the last two minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to his double testimonial... If you're taking all completions then he's already on 55 for us. I guess if he stayed with us for his whole carrer, let's say he retires at 34. Stays relatively injury free, and so averages say 42 games a season (let's assume he drives us to promotion and then Europe pretty soon and so we play 8 fewer league games, but gain a few European cup gamed, let's also assume he misses a few games here and there for injury and rotation etc). He turned 19 this season, so retiring at 34 gives him the rest of this season - a further 34 appearances based on the average of 42 - plus 15 further seasons to give his final match presumably being the Champions League final in 2038. At 42 games a season, plus the further 34 I'm estimating this season, and the 55 he already has, we get an estimated total of: 55 + 34 + (15*42) = 719 appearances. Would smash the records of both Atyeo and Carey. He could probably have a season out injured and still break the record if he stayed for so long. Shall we just commission the statue now to save time?

I believe subs were introduced in 1965 the season Big John retired and I don't think he was involved in any substitutions. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) The first substitute in English football was Keith Peacock on 21 August 1965. John Atyeo made his last appearance for City on 10 May 1966. I haven’t checked but I very much doubt that he was ever substituted nor a substitute.

If he played another 21 seasons rather than the 15 I estimated, then you're looking at him beating Giggs' record for games played for a single team (Europe). That is 963 (see court records for verification). Would mean Scott playing until he's 40 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the improvements in sports science you could see a lot more players playing until their late 30’s if they stay serious injury free, you need to adapt your game potentially but possible if you have the desire to keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
