fantastic day out on first day of the season. loads and loads of blues,brilliant atmosphere,quinn scoring the only goal after a long high cross from ricky holden.My favourite player at the time.
He was so quick, it was unreal. I remember his debut at Coventry. He was up against Kevin Gallagher, who was meant to be rapid. The ball was played over the top and City fans presumed Gallagher would run on to it and score.
Curle saw it and absolutely ruined him for pace. £2.5m well spent.
happy days

Happy birthday to him, 62 today.
Any excuse to post this video. Some away end that.
White absolutely destroyed Bruce for pace for that penalty.

Still one of my all time favourite city players. Rapid and a leader. Shocking that he didn't get more international caps but this was at time when playing for City was unfashionable and by comparison all you had to do was make the bench for United to be considered an England stalwart. Remember him being deployed at right back for England then barely being looked at again.
I'd put him and Phelan, alongside Distin, as the best defenders I saw at City from mid 80s to the takeover. Could probably cut it in a Pep team too.

I think the Wayne Clarke sitter was during the Brightwell "I just wellied it" 1-1 draw in 1990. That was the season when the attendance was higher for the Maine Road derby than the Old Trafford derby (although you're wasting your breath trying to get a rag to admit it).
White missed a sitter after the Curle equalizer, and so did Fitzroy Simpson.
This was the midweek after City had done United a huge favour by beating Leeds 4-0. United were 2 points ahead with two games in hand, but blew it big time
Wayne Clarke and Adrian heath still give me nightmaresSorry mate, the Brightwell Derby is the one we'd digressed to!

I think Mick McCarthy is worth a shout too.I'd put him and Phelan, alongside Distin, as the best defenders I saw at City from mid 80s to the takeover. Could probably cut it in a Pep team too.

I still remember how he was shit on by Taylor playing him at right back in his first of three international games.
How he got only 3 caps is beyond believable.

Saw him walking through NS concourse at the Napoli game. Looks good for 62. Always speaks well of City when he's on the radio.
That team he was in when Reid was manager was a top goal scorer away from doing something
I believe we was in the race for Ian Wright, who knows
Quinn and White would always get goals but not enough to be really serious

He'd be banned for life if he did that nowAlways love seeing the lad jump into his arms.

Taylor picked as a utility player for the 1992 Euros after a late injury, and the right back game was his third.A Rolls-Royce of a centre-back. Shame he never got a proper chance with England thanks to Graham Taylor.
His other 2 were boths half games as well with different players being tried out in the warm ups, he played one as CB and one as Sweeper.
After the Euros he has Adams, Walker, Pallister and Keown to contend with, and his and City's form declined a but, with one average and 3 relegation contender seasons, and he left to captain wolves.
His last game at Maine Road was as a left back for Sheff United. At his peak he was against Des Walker who was claimed to be the best in the world.
