Mention on a recent post of Gerry Creaney got me wondering if City could actually boast a decent team of players whose surnames begin with "C". Here goes:

Joe Corrigan

Kenny Clements
Keith Curle
Tommy Caton
Gael Clichy

Lee Croft
Johnny Crossan
Nigel Clough
Jimmy Conway

Andrew Cole
Mick Channon

Bench: Tony Coton, David Cross, Bernardo Corradi, Laurent Charvet (sorry!), Lee Crooks (not a brilliant bench).

I assure younger BMs that Johnny Crossan was a very skilful player who helped us to promotion in 1966, and that Nigel Clough was very decent for Forest (if not for us).

Oddly, we have had some crap strikers beginning with "C": Conlon, Christie, Cunningham (Tony), Creaney, Wayne Clarke, Nery Castillo, perhaps even Caicedo,

Corradi should be in with the crap strikers and not on the bench, Caicedo was better imo.

I reckon Coleman, Corluka and Caton could earn a place in the squad.

You've already got Caton though, missed him on my first read.


Agreed very much so about Coleman ("TC"). I thought he was unlucky not to play for England like City' s other league winning forwards.
 
A team from my era:

Carlo Nash
Richard Edghill, Micah Richards, Richard Dunne, Gael Clichy
Trevor Sinclair, Marc Vivien Foe, Javi Garcia, Eyal Berkovic
Paul Dickov, Felipe Caicedo

Got decent balance to it, struggled with midfield.

Edgehill, Richards, Dunne, Sinclair, Foe (or vivien-foe), Garcia, Berkovic and Dickov don't begin with the letter "C", apart from that it's fine. :)

I cheated and went for players that included the letter c.

Much easier!
