My grandad said Swift was the best player he’d ever seen.My father was a fan of Peter Doherty - who was voted the greatest Irish sportsman of the twentieth century - and he's certainly one of those players I would love to have seen but there are many other City players who might have made the present squad but I only saw Bobby Johnson. Some others are Billy Meredith, Jimmy McMullen, Eric Brook, Fred Tilson and Frank Swift, of course. Then there is my real hero, who I saw week in week out - the incomparable Bert Trautmann. Some great players for a club with no 'istry. And how good might Paul Lake have been.
My dad says Trautmann.
