We bought Sturridge off Coventry.

A lot of people rated Bobby Duncan when he was at city and then he went for a year to Liverpool and now fiorentina. Well published issues with his agent and clubs.

Dave Bennett..

 

[SilverFox2]

We like to think our team is now world class in every position so the possibility to develop a world class player in any position is remote.

Stan Bowles was our homegrown player from Collyhurst. Terrific forward who fell out of favour with Malcolm Allison, great career with QPR, always loved a bet, sadly Stan now has Alzheimer’s, lovely guy and lovely family.

Stan didn’t just “fall out”.
He was actually sacked by the club.

 

[Mike N]

Scored a hattrick at Maine Road

Remember it well, sadly.

Why can't we produce a good one from the academy these days?. Nmecha looks like league one might be his level, so who else is there?

My first thought was Roger Palmer, but then I discovered that he's 61 tomorrow, his equalizer at Old Trafford was 40 years ago, and I'm just an old twat.

Rashford's career was virtually kick-started by accident, but it's strange that City aren't even producing someone who scores a few Premier League goals before fading into oblivion.
In contrast, Greenwood is the latest in a long line of "next George Best's"
