[Frankie lad]

Loved Kenny Clements a great servant.Took stick but a great blue.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Any of the Scottish ones

Even the king of Ibrox park?

Paul Stewart - he was a brief shining star in a City shirt. But I envisaged him taking us all the way back to the top at the time.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Neil 'the crab' McNab frustrated the fuck out of me because of his constant sideways and backwards passing. And it was even more noticeable when stood on the Kippax watching him fanny about.

To me he was one of the few who could pass a ball straight! (Regardless of the direction!). No he had some technique tbf

 

[Damocles]

Upon watching replays, Martin Petrov was not the player I remember him being.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Ian Bishop

 

[KnaresboroughBlue]

Navas would be the first one that springs to mind.

 

[Norman Stanley Fletcher]

Ooooooooh. Those penalties he took - in the days we got pens.

SO correct! I have it in my mind, where he took one ... placed it on the spot, turned round to walk back, and immediately back-heeled it past the goalie .... try that now!

 

[melrose40yarder]

Add Jensen,Granville,Jobson.
Further back Dave Bennet,Tony Henry,Paul Power,Mark Ward.

Steve Howie
Nicky Reid
And many more who give a good graft.

Dont think I ever saw him 'back heel' one. I remember him placing the ball, taking one step back, turning and just thumping it. I think I recall him hitting the post once!.

I seem to remember him, when asked why he took a pen like that, saying that the goal appeared a lot bigger!
