Best player from our doldrums years (1980 to roughly 2009)

Benarbia for me. Thought Elano was a really good player too.

Tony Grealish for me, Kicked Sh*t out of UTD for 1 game.

I also think Andy Morrison was one of the most important signings we ever made. He turned the club around and I can't think of any other player who's had such a massive impact for us - literally that one signing pushed us from 12th(?) in Div 1 to the PL in a couple of seasons.

Big fan of Morrison myself, and fit beautifully into that rag tag bunch in the 3rd tier, but i think his impact was mainly in the 3rd tier where he bullied opposition strikers. He was slightly marginalised in Div 1 and barely played a PL game. loved him though.

Felt the same when we sold Paul Simpson.
Simmo came through the youth (like Clive) and was an exciting player who scored valuable goals...

Ricky Holden was a very average winger.

Remember going to watch oldham in the league cup early 89/90 against arsenal or leeds (maybe I went to both) but remember him and Dennis irwin stood out thought City should sign them. We definitely signed the wrong one think he had an allergy to grass way before mario.

As for decent players I always remeber micheal Hughes having some good games for us and being a bit miffed why we sold him. Plus always think Kevin Horlock never gets the credit he deserves
