Love your user name dobingsdobber. Peter Dobing scored against the rags in a derby at OT in 1962 that my red supporting cousins had taken me to in the hope I would turn against the rest of my blue family. Think Alex Harley scored a late winner

Aguero never made the team until very late in his time with us, I mean how shocking is that, to think the experts thought not just one player was a better striker than him but two.

Still, all those goals and 93-20 just makes them look like utter mugs.

Cheers matey.Those two ,along with Gerry Baker,were my first City heroes as a lad.
Less said about your cousins,deluded or what?
 
Tony Towers ,came through the ranks and was a superb passer of a ball and vastly underrated at the time at Maine Road , he was sold in a swap deal for Tueart & Horswill , Tueart was a great addition but Horswill was a yard dog compared to Tony a big mistake letting him leave he had so much potental and eventually got a few England caps.
 
Ian Brightwell. Should have been a right back only but because of his engine could play anywhere and ended up loyally filling in other positions because he could go the detriment of his own development.

I feel of he had solely played right back he would have achieved a lot more. Great crosser, could in the tackle and could run all day.

Definitely played his best football at right back and I believe Leeds were in for him around 92 with Quinny and he was close to getting an England call up. Not long after he got crocked and was out for nearly a season and not long after that began our demise.

I think he ended up playing his last games for us at centre half as we had no one better and he was only about 5ft 9.

Not the greatest footballer who ever lived but a classic 100% man, every time. And although not a Mancunian, a proper blue, before it became profitable for ex players to declare their undying love for the club.

I remember when he came back to Maine Road as a Walsall player and even though he didn’t play, presumably through injury, he gave an interview to local radio straight after the match. All he wanted to talk about was City and their promotion chances. Constantly using words like “we” and “us”. I was thinking… I hope no Walsall fans are listening to this. He seems to have completely forgotten he plays for them and not us.
 
If you listened to some of this country's media output over the last couple of weeks, and then watched todays match, you'd have to say that it's Haaland.
