Not long after Ralph Brand who was Joe's first signing.

Buzzer was a tad better than Brand who couldn’t hit a barn door for us despite being prolific previously.

 

[blueandy1mac]

talk about best ever signings, certainly one of them. Still one of my all time favourites, and still a legendary blue.

 

[KS55]

Buzzer, still going on behalf of City 60 years later. Complete legend.
Is he the last of the 67/68 champions?

 

[its a Barm]

I love seeing buzzer at the games he is a true legend of the club and a top guy who always has time to talk anything city

 

[Earlyriser]

He was some player... could take it as well as dish it out. Savinho take note

I was 12 when City signed buzzer from Swindon, can any one remember if he cost us 35,000.

No cheating.

£35k as I remember. Well spent. Mike was a magnificent footballer.

IIRC, he scored for Swindon in our legendary 2-1 defeat in front of 8015(?) poor souls at Maine Road in 1964.

As I recall, Alan Oakes gave the ball straight to Summerbee from a throw in.

Haha so have I, I was gifted it as an 'original'.

I always have my doubts.

 

[city2]

He loved to have banter with fans when taking corners, proper winger I think we played him as a centre forward if my memory servers me right being another foc.

 

[Earlyriser]

Colin 45k and Franny 60k, unbelievable

Almost as unbelievable that they signed from Bury and Bolton

 

[HelloCity]

When he got banned from Sky Sports
