Excellent thread. Andy May should be in it, Collyhurst.

Thought Andy May was from Bury.Just googled his biography says Bury and wiki says collyhurst, I always believed he was a Bury lad.

Good thread this, but saddens me at the same time. I think the days of us signing the best talent from Denton, Worsley, Collyhurst or wherever are well behind us.

I'm sure someone told me once that when Celtic won the European Cup in 1967, the entire team had been born within 20 miles of the ground. The chances of that ever happening again are zilch

Also, if you think about our championship team of 1968 they were all English. Won't see that again.

Apart from Bobby Kennedy.

He made only four appearances so it hardly counts.

Stan Bowles

Wasn't he a cockney?

Anyway.

Mick Doyle was the most loyal Manchester city player ever.

And he was a proper Manc.

I think Clive Wilson must have been the most local player as he lived just off
LLoyd Street / Gt. Western Street.
I know Neil Young lived near as he went to Heald Place School but not sure where.

Jive was probably the nearest, along with Jason and Darren Beckford, all original Jamaican [Moss Side born] boys from Da' Moss.

We used to play Heald Green at U11s on the school playing with Maine Road's floodlights as the backdrop.

All good South Manchester lads.

Also Gus, Clives brother, he used to train us at moss-side youth club in the early eighties.
Cracking lads, salt of the earth.

Bene the nonce used to train all of that firm in the early 70's. He got an eleven for noncing. Remember the nonce selling leathers in oasis.

The jimmy saville of coaching top moss side footballers.
