Loved little terry, Christ, imagine what he'd go for today, a player ahead of his time if not the tactics...

Other than the famous FA cup goal, my fav Terry moment in a City shirt was away against Chelsea, before Matthew Hardling let alone Abramovic, when they used to park cars between the fans behind the goal and the goal itself. He scored, jumped the advertising boards to come to the fans to celebrate, saw the cars and how far we were away, thought fuck it, shrugged his shoulders, gave us the thumbs up before heading back over the boards to his position. The other goal was in another post code it was so far away. What a shit hole Stamford Bridge used to be.
As for tricky Ricky, he had to be skillful as he usually had to beat the full back 2 or 3 times as they could always get back at him and have another go at tackling him. I challenge anyone to name a slower winger that has played top flight football.
Yeah it was Chelsea, lost 1-0 if i remember. I used to pretend to be Phelan on the park after school. Had my city shirt with number 3 Phelan on the back. I used to knock the ball over the top of a few players and run like buggery to beat everyone to it. Bit like the run he did against Leeds when we beat them 4-0. Ha great days!I do mate, wasn't it v Chelsea in that white and red chess board monstrosity they adorned??

Ha yeah he was a slouch. Had a great left peg at times for crossing. Great one for Quinn in the derby (the early kick off when half of manchester was still pissed).Other than the famous FA cup goal, my fav Terry moment in a City shirt was away against Chelsea, before Matthew Hardling let alone Abramovic, when they used to park cars between the fans behind the goal and the goal itself.

Must be a glory hunter - never seen Geoff Lomax play I bet ;)Your team was positively brimming with quality compared to the efforts of myself and @Mikejl
You had James in goal over Margetson or Tracy for start off, James was one of the best performers (with Dunney and Distin) in the dire Pearce team, you JCL no nowt.
