After scanning your list Stan Bowles and Earl Barrett spring to mind as definite absentees, maybe there's others maybe there isn't but thought I'd add at least those two for you.

Tommy Johnson our 1920s marksman and scorer of most goals in all competitions during a season pre Haaland, who went on and forged a great partnership with Dixie Dean at Everton when we stupidly sold him, he also played for England and although I'm quite certain his first proper club was City I could not be 100% sure of if it counts.

Frank Swift is another similarly to Johnson perhaps where officially his first club real club in football is listed as City, he also spent some time at other amateur non league clubs near Blackpool, one that became a league team during subsequent years the now reformed Fleetwood Town, however because of the times and how very small Fleetwood were at the time (they won North West Counties as recently as 1999) they may be harshly viewed as irrelevant at the time, could be a bit if a grey area it might without meaning to be disrespectful seen as playing for a Sunday league side in development terms, his career there only gets a slight mention on his Wikipedia page maybe somebody like @Gary James would have a better idea, about whether Johnson and Swift should be listed right here or even have an idea about other players who might be missing too.

Cheers for the info. I knew there had to be a couple missing.

I considered Swift, but considering he played for clubs before City and only played a couple of reserve games, I felt he didn't qualify as a city grad. Johnson was signed directly from another club to the first team so also can't be included IMO.

I agree with both those points. If we're including SWP (who mostly came through the NFFC youth system before joining City at 17) I suppose Tommy Johnson should be included as he arrived at City at 17 and hadn't played for a professional team before then (though he did have time with local clubs in Dalton where he was from). He made his debut for City at 17 too.

There are also B internationals like Gary Owen & Paul Power who should be included. We don't tend to do B internationals now but comparing them to some of the meaningless friendlies England play today it's fairly clear some of these were tougher matches or more significant in some way. For example Owen played against West Germany B, Malaysia and New Zealand (amongst others) and Power against Spain B. B internationals by other City players included games v USA's first team (and Finland and Holland) all of which would be full internationals today.

My rationale for that one is that SWP did actually play with City's academy/reserves for (I believe) a full season - while Johnson went straight into the first team (a la Joe Hart).

There are also the three that represented Great Britain: Micah Richards, Ryan the Adulterer and Daniel Sturridge.

I'm undecided about B teams - would they have been called up if the first team got more fixtures? that's debateable. Either way I found it tough enough to find all of the full internationals, I'd struggle even more with B teams.

 

[johnny crossan]

Ian Poveda subbed on for Leeds v Rotherham just now - thought they'd loaned him out.

 

[skillman]

Bynoe-Gittens scored for Dortmund earlier this week in the CL too.

The local Dallas MLS team got eliminated from the playoffs Nov 10th by a goal from Albert Rusnak. He's 29 yo.

Richard Edghill won an England B cap as well.

Charlie McNeill has been sent back to Utd after failing to impress on loan at Stevenage. Same with Harvey Griffiths and Walsall/Wolves.
