first time starting a post but thought I’d have some fun and see what everyone’s favourite City 11 they’ve seen in the flesh is, not the best but favourite players for whatever reason that may be. I’m 39, season ticket from 1994 to 2017 so see some of the highest highs and lowest of lows so here’s mine

Nicky Weaver - great keeper for us and the celebration round Wembley is iconic

Zabba - absolute warrior - honourable mention to Richard Edghill who was the scapegoat for many but he was city through and through and always gave 100%

Andy Morrison - Captain and leader who dragged us up kicking and screaming

Vincent Kompany - monster and THAT goal says it all

Danny Tiatto - another warrior and just for trying the snap Phil Neville in two is enough

SWP - carried out club for seasons and was unplayable on his day

Super Kevin Horlock - wand of left foot and just got the club and the fans back then

Gio - worth the entry fee alone was Kinky, probably one of, if not the most gifted of players I’ve seen at City - ball glued to his foot and a shining star amongst absolute dross around him

Ali B - had to get this guy in the team, can only imagine how good he was 10 years before we got him. Him and Berkovic were quality

Uwe Rosler - my hero growing up, always had Rosler 28 on my shirts

Shaun Goater - knew how to put the ball in the net and was a great for us at the time too

Not the strongest eleven I've seen, a few notable players would need changing for that Yaya & KDB to name just a couple but, we have been both spoiled and visually abused since i started attending in '70/71.

So hard to do this, particularly with the right rollercoaster of football I've witnessed City play. So many that carried us at one time or another and who knows where we'd have been without them. I find it hard not to pick those from our better days generally though.

Eddie - never imagined I'd see a keeper play the way he did
Zabba - played exactly how fans want their players to
Vinny - came early on in the project and made us great
Dunny - not the standard we're used to now but consistent in a time we needed him
Tiatto - absolutely loved him for similar reasons to Zabba
Ferny - hard to overlook Rodri but Ferny had the shithouse side I loved
Yaya - just unreal what he could do when he was on it
De Bruyne - the greatest for me
El Mago - not far behind and a joy to watch, the greatest before De Bruyne!
SWP - carried us at times and also helped generate some good money for us in desperate times
Aguero - doesn't need explaining.
 
Ederson, the mad bastard.

I tried hard to put players in their rightful, normal positions and not shoehorn Haaland in with Aguero, etc.
