The best not the fatest

 

[Keeper!]

Megson, Barton, Anelka, Quinn, Rosler, Beagrie, Bernarbia, Berkovic, Francis, Gow, Hutchinson.

 

[Keeper!]

Trevor Francis.

Great shout,Francis made the ground come alive and was a magnificent player , for me Tommy Hutchinson a close second, what a player he was and what an incredible period he had with us.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Barry Conlan??

I think Barry Conlan was possibly the worst player I have ever seen in a city shirt, and to be honest that is quite a long list :-)

Tommy H and king Trev great shouts..Quinny was great for us and zreidy. Paul Lake maybe..sad early end.. Bernabia and Kinky for fun..between this period we had some decent season's
Royle's promotion..Kendal and Reid era.. Kendal..man if he had stayed.

I was at Chelsea in 1983.

You were one of the 6,000 they used to get for league games back then?

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Trevor Francis.

Never had the chance to properly see or appreciate how good he was for us - but obviously from this and other responses, the concensus seems to be - another level.

He was something else Blue. Got off to a flier at Stoke then sadly had a injury plagued season.

Paul Walsh was a superb little player for us, Rosler got all the headlines but the little fella was the brains and the footballer.

He was sheer class when fit, that was the issue, the slightest niggle he did not play which pissed off Swales because Francis would add another 5k to the gate if he was playing.

 

[Salford_Blue]

Paul Stewart always gets overlooked.

51 games, 26 goals.

Made a huge impact when he came.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Kinkladze.

That good, he’d get in the current team.

Like any good money shot should.

 

[its a Barm]

All players you've all mentioned bring a smile to my face we have had some great memories with these players, even when we were shit we were good.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Paul Walsh was a superb little player for us, Rosler got all the headlines but the little fella was the brains and the footballer.

Wasnt to enthused when we signed him from the Championship when he was 30+ but he proved me wrong and had a good spell with us including very productive 1st half on 94/5 season...them we swapped him for Creaney AND cash!

 

[chaddblue]

Francis, Lake, white, Curle, Kinkladze, Rosler, benarbia, Anelka, SWP, Hart, Zabba, Vinny

Got to go for Kinky. He lit up the stadium and for a while was almost the only reason to keep going to games
