Call it sad but I had some spare time this weekend and I love looking at stats past and present. Someone might like this…


I gathered together all players who have played for City with 100 appearances or more (excluding current players in the squad).
All these players have either left the club or obviously retired.
I then put them in teams of 11 in order of appearances, this is what I came up with… I’ve gone with 433 for all teams but some players might not be in their exact position.

It’s interesting that PWF at 25 isn’t even half way to Alan Oakes record of 680 appearances. He could beat it but not by much.
 
Didn't realise Ederson made more appearances than Hart. Felt to me like Hart was around for a lot longer. Maybe I'm just getting older.
