Just arrived in Salou in Spain for a family holiday. Any recommendations for a good bar to watch tonight's match? Cheers in advance!

If Alan Ball had picked him once he got fit we never would have went down in 96. Selecting Eike Immel ahead of him was criminal and it still bugs me to this day. We went down on goal difference and I believe Coton would easily have got us another 4 or 5 points!

Am I right in saying the last time we got a penalty against them was in the league Cup semi final in 09/10?

Pretty sure he was the only player to face the media

Is there any truth in a story I read that Swales stopped Tony Coton getting any England caps, because it would have meant he had to pay more money to Watford due to a clause agreed when signing Coton??

I'm still convinced to this day, that had he put Coton back in the team once he was fit we never would have gone down!

Quinn actually said something similar in the podcast about having a Phillips type striker!

Finding all these opinions fascinating. I was too young to remember 90/91 and 91/92 seasons. Always thought we had a reasonable when the premier league began, before it all went so wrong!

I was listening to a Paddy Power podcast earlier on. It was an interview with Niall Quinn ( I know hes not the most popular on bluemoon). He was very complimentary about his time at city, particularly the fans. He said that he believes that the early 90s side was a 25/30 goals a season striker...

The 92/93 season. I started following football and fell in love with City!

Very true. That's was one of the better city sides of the last 25 years but before the takeover obviously!

Would I be right in saying that this goes back to when we beat Blackburn 3-2 at ewood under Brian Horton?

Eike Immel is the worst keeper I've seen play for City! It's still mind boggling that Alan Ball insisted on playing him ahead of Tony Coton and forced Coton out of the club! No way we would have gone down in 96 with TC in goal! Especially as we went down on goal difference!

Spot on!

It's easy to see how much of a financial mess we were in back then,and how desperate the club was for cash! Niall Quinn was worth a lot more than 1.3m. Sunderland got him for a steal as it turned out!

I still have nightmares about the goal Giggs scored at Maine Road. Keith Curle pointed and told him to shoot, he didn't think he could score from the angle he was at! Curle obviously forgot that is was Immel and not Coton in goal

I'm still convinced to this day that had Alan Ball put him in the team once he recovered from injury, we would never have gone down! Immel is up there with the worst keepers I've seen at city!

Doesn't the story go that had he played for England, city would have had to pay more money to Watford. Peter Swales being on the FA board made sure that never happened!

How highly did you rate Tony Coton? I've been a city fan since the early 90s and in my opinion in terms of shot stopping and keeping the ball out of the net hes as good as anyone I've seen play for city! He wasn't great with the ball as his feet so he wouldn't get in Peps team. Leaving aside the...
