Ex-City Players You Have Rose-Tinted Glasses For

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Seeing as he was a boo boy for lots of his time here, i'll go for Sterling.

I'll add Mahrez who also had his detractors.

 

[Pearceman]

Gordon Smith.

 

[chaddblue]

Nicky Summerbee

Only cos I sat next to him on a flight. He was a gent, a good laugh, bought me a couple of drinks and told me a few stories

Since then I’ve always stuck up for him when he gets slagged off

 

[WestGorton]

Gordon Smith.

Skillful player

 

[jimharri]

Oh, Rodney Rodney, I thought he was a fantastic player when I was a kid & still one of the most skilful players I have ever seen, I realise quite a few blues didnt see it the same way.

I'm one of them!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Joe Hart. I still think he wasn’t given a fair chance but hey ho what do I know. The powers that be wanted him out so he went.
But he still remained loyal to City and I’ve never heard of him saying a bad word about us.
Love our Joe.

Danny Tiatto, always remembered fondly for going through Beckham at Dennis Irwins testimonial.

 

[WestGorton]

Mike Sheron

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That big centre back we had - first game hit a ball on the volley from a corner v CFC, near uprooted the post, and the next game made a complete hash of most things. Eliaquim?

Danny Tiatto, always remembered fondly for going through Beckham at Dennis Irwins testimonial.

As I pass the security check at the turnstiles I always tell the operative that I'm as clean as a (enter some rough house merchant, here) tackle. The last game it was Danny Tiatto. "I'm as clean as a Danny Tiatto tackle!"

 

[MarsLlama]

Glad to see so many responses and have thoroughly enjoyed reading them - I would second the Navas shout. Odd bloke and terrible goal threat but I still understand why Sevilla love him.

Navas got a red card for dissent recently - hilarious considering he barely said a word in all his years here.

 

[Mr Fraser]

Michael Robinson

Good shout. remember game at Leeds when he completely destroyed their centre half. Paul hart? My pick is nicky reid

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Glauber Berti

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Nicky Summerbee

Only cos I sat next to him on a flight. He was a gent, a good laugh, bought me a couple of drinks and told me a few stories

I did Sports Tonight Live with Nicky Summerbee and he was a gentleman.

 

[Durutti City]

Ray Ranson

 

[Kippax77]

Bobby Mcdonald

 

[Bill Walker]

Keith mcrae

My hero :)

 

[shemnel]

Ali Bernarbia

Despite the underwhelming premier league season, he'll always be part of that magical Keegan era and an absolute wizard in my memory

 

[Joe Corrigan's legs]

Neil McNab

 

[Brewster's millions]

Mangala.

Was obviously horrendous when he first turned up - his debut against Chelsea apart - but I actually thought he did alright for us in the games he played in 17-18.
