I remember being on a bus in a traffic queue after a match. Been stuck for a good twenty minutes, someone at the back shouted slow down a bit Fowlers running to catch up. Barry Silkman is my choice.

He could open a can of peas with his left foot
Wasn't that the German left back Michael Frontzeck who could open tins with his left foot. I remember his debut against QPR, he was immense and knocked the fuck out of Mark Hately. I remember thinking we'd pulled a blinder signing a German full international for nothing, but sadly it wasn't to be.
My season ticket was in Platt Lane that season and my mate who gave me a lift was in the North Stand so I used to watch the last few minutes from the top of the steps and then leg it round to meet him. I started to notice that Frontzeck would be substituted midway through the second half and by the time I'd be walking past the main entrance he'd be showered, changed and stood there waiting to get in a taxi. Does anyone else remember this, because I always thought it was a bit strange that he was allowed to fuck off straight after the game before Alan Ball had given his inspirational post match team talk.

Be careful. Some might start wondering if he had an early evening rendezvous planned with a future City manager...

Easy one. We had him here last year. Nolito. I'm 53 and 17 stone and I could have worn a 19th century diving suit and still outrun that fucker. Special mention for daddy's boy (Clough) in 2nd place

As soon as I saw this thread, I was reminded of Mick McCarthy's famous quote; "I'm deceptive, I'm slower than I look". Will always be remembered fondly for that header against the vermin though!
