Ex-City Players You Have Rose-Tinted Glasses For

[Tbilisi]

Freddie Hill, we never seemed to lose when I watched him play as a kid.

Andy Morrison my all time City fav, saved the club.

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

Nicky was my fav player for ages

Geoff Hammond -a FB who caned in a couple of 25 yarders, was decent and then suddenly disappeared it appeared to me as a 14 yr old

Looking for players that were either divisive or unpopular when they were playing for us, but that you remember fondly.

I'd have to start with Aleksandar Kolarov, whose flaws I always liked to overlook. Now I mostly remember the goals and the season he played at centre-back and was genuinely very good.

Mauritzio Gaudino, italian german, no wonder i can't spell his name

Paul Bosvelt for some reason. I thought he was (for us at the time) great.

Sort of but God he was slow

 

[aka blue jambo]

Any of the Scottish ones

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

thought Granville was very underrated, thought he was always steady for us and his arrival forced Tiatto to step up

Remember sitting in the Port Vale stand after leaving my City ticket at home and Granville scored a great heade Needless to say at 16stone I went mad

Eric Nixon.

 

[Bill the Blue]

Tony Henry..

Tony wasn't a first team regular but whenever he played I can't recall him ever letting us down..

He was a neat, tidy, skillful footballer from memory..

1980/81 season, remember Tony putting us 2-1 up against Forest at the City Ground with a 20 yarder..

Going mental in the corner of the ground that housed the City fans and one of the floodlights..

At the time, Forest were the current European Champions and never seemed to lose at home and we were winning 2-1 at half time after being 1-0 down..

Great days..






We lost 3-2..

Alan Ogley
