Dennis was a traitorous git. He broke my heart when he left and then compounded it by going to the Swamp. Bobby Johnstone? I should have said Ewing was the best we didn't get from Hibs!

Ewing did go on to manage Hibs though.

In the early 1960s, City was stuffed with Scots.

Matt Gray & Alex Harley (from Third Lanark), Bobby Kennedy (Kilmarnock), Jackie Plenderleith (Hibs), and Ralph Brand (Rangers) all came in between 1960 and 1965.

Really!!

We collect young players and then farm them out like lambs are shipped up and down the M6

So how many have deserved a first team place?

 

[dennishasdoneit]

I dont even wanna go there.....dark days indeed.omg.

Proper City kit that. No sponsors on the shirt and maroon topped socks.

Imho that is the best (my favorite) City kit of all time.

If you have to pull out a 5 year old post to prove your 'point' then you've already lost the argument. And you're still a fanny.

But he is still right. 100% .

I saw the lot of 'em. Alex Harley penalties? Never seen anyone take one like him since! I still have an image of Bobby Kennedy smashing a shot onto the post and near uprooting it! Matt Gray could have been, in style, the 'grandad of Foden'!

Except he isn't (did you bother reading his educated posts?)

Dick posted the following:-

'Well let's hope we don't fuck his career up like we have with other youngsters' giving Patrick Roberts as his example.

Dick refuses to answer the question as to how 'we fucked up his career' so perhaps you can answer it?

'Denis'.... Tut tut Dave.

Paul Ritchie was another one I had high hopes for. Turned out shit and injury prone. Also Dom Sullivan, one game I think.

Bobby Johnstone - one of my favourite players from that era. Scored in successive Wembley finals - the first to do so.

Has anyone mentioned Bobby McDonald that Bond brought in? Or Gordon Smith - very talented, elegant player, though I haven't forgiven him for missing that late sitter for Brighton that would have beaten Utd at Wembley. (and no votes for Matt Busby!)

Correction: just seen Bobby Mac mentioned on p.2

Here's my Scots team:

Keith MacRae (gk)

Willie Donachie, Colin Hendry, Andy Morrison, Bobby McDonald (Back 4)

Neil McNab, Matt Gray, Asa Hartford, Tommy Hutchison (Midfield)

Bobby Johnstone, Denis Law (up front)

Some genuine talent there.....
