Best All-English City XI

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

As seen with my own eyes

Coton
Walker, Watson, Redmond, I Brightwell
SWP, Foden, Lake, Tueart
Kidd, White

 

[Invisible_Goat]

One of the best English players of the last 20 years is definitely SWP.
'Shauny Wright Wright Wright' was part of the Keegan promotion team and played his part in the initial years after the take over before the trophies really 'kicked in'. Without doubt also our outstanding player of the first couple of years at COMS (as it was).
Certainly I'm not the first person to say this but would have loved it (really loved it!) to have seen him in a Pep City team.

He was right up there in his prime, one of the best wingers in the world in my opinion, only kept out of the Chelsea team due to Robben, who is right up there with the best of the last 30 years. Every time he got the ball the stadium stood to its feet. Absolute legend.

I’d have Doyle ahead of Stones, Oakes ahead of Barry, and Young in place of Grealish.

Was it the drink but I remember Jobson being ok when fit?

Not sure you're taking this totally seriously? I mean, no Ged Brannan?

Or Danny Mills?!

In 4-3-3 formation and including only players I've seen:

Corrigan; Walker, Doyle, Watson, Pardoe; Bell, Lake, Foden; Sterling, Francis, Tueart

I've gone for Pardoe even though he played his last first-team game before I watched my first. He carried on playing in the reserves until 1976/7, and my old man used to take me when the seniors were playing away, so he counts in my book as a City player I saw play.

I did see Franny Lee play at Maine Road, but only for Derby, so I didn't feel I could include him.

Nobody on here's ever seen him play — but by reputation, Peter
Doherty.
Must be one or two players from the mid 50s team who'd compete, too;
