I remember that one, god what a player he was.gmckennasell said:one of the best individual performances and debut , was trevor francis at stoke city , i think we won 3-1 , and he scored 2 superb goals and took our team to another level that day , i remember thinking at £1m , (£80m in todays money) he was the bargain of the century.

Berbatov against us for Tottenham but I remember being blown away by Jurgen Klinsmann in the 5-2 game and Domitrscu was bloody good that day. I remember Peter Barnes getting a 10/10 one game can't recall who against though and Denis Tueart v Notts County one evening game I think when he scored 3 or was it 4?

yep . mcmanaman debut..scored with a diving header at platt lane end. mike marsh, a tidy midfield player also started for the scousers that day.wireblue said:worsleyweb said:wireblue said:Keith curle debut against liverpool at home. First match of the season.
Was that when saunder missed a penalty at the platt lane end?
It was. David white scored that goal off the underside of the bar and we won 2-1. Pretty sure it was mcmanaman and saunders debuts as well. I was only young but remember the atmosphere was incredible and one of those nights you never forget

4 goals for " dennis the menace" that night..and my local paper had the obvious headline, which i,ve still got safely tucked away with other memorabilia...dave bennet got the other one that night.
Paulo wanchope must be the best performance i have seen in the flesh( didn,t know you were there that night josh..is that when you used to go away..? arf arf
ali b at sheff wed must run paulo a close second.what a player.
#david white and his four goal haul at villa park on a tues night under peter reid was special too.
i have a vague memory of richard edghill having a cracking game at left back at elland road one night match, all a bit a hazy now and no idea why he was at left back..
i am not kinkladze,s biggest fan but his performance , at home to spurs on his debut for us was magical..i remember it was the 86th minute before he misplaced a pass.

Here's the goals from Denis thanks to Mad Eyed Screamer's pm earlier and quite rightly you can see one of my favourite City players Dave Bennett scoring the first.
Yes mate those were the days when I could afford to go away, before I had a wife and kids, a mortgage and cats, a car and a job that paid on time rather than my own business whereby every fucker pays late and yes the days before I paid mobile phone bills ;-)
Off topic mate I saw a lovely Jay last Saturday morning flying up into a tree and it just sat there for ages whilst I sat in the van and enjoyed it's beauty....Anyway here's the goals.

And note the future City leg-end Trevor Christie scored for County
Yes. Exactly my thoughts from the Kippax.Richie said:Darren Huckerby at Maine Road - might have been against Millwall but I seem to remember we were down to 10 men & Huckerby seemed to play full-back and Striker at the same time. He put so much effort in that after about 70 mins he ran over to the touchline in front of the Kippax and threw-up. Not the most skillful or creative appearance, but he gave everything in that game.

Agreed he was superb that night.
Ones I remember was Quinn away to forest when we hadn't won away on a Saturday for ages. Forest had a good home record and we went there and got a nice 3 - 1 win....Quinn was unplayable that afternoon.
Another one that I recall is Aguero vs rags in FA cup 3 rd. again vs 10 men. He was like 2 players that day and shone when he could have easily strolled through last 60 mins.
Vs us.....Steve bloody cherry for notts county in FA cup where we somehow lost after battering them all game.....something died inside me that day.....
He played lone striker in that game, and he plays to his full potential when played alone up top, as he does for Italy and Milan. We should've used him as a lone striker far more often IMO.mscenterh750 said:More recently how about Mario v Salford in the cup semi. Brilliant performance from him (underlining just what he could do, when in the mood and right mindset).
