I only put in players I've seen with my own 2 eyes so I had Beagrie in my 20. Nice to see Bob,Weikens and McNab in the 100 as good solid servants for the club. Big Alex should be in if only for all the work he's done in the community

 

[BringBackSwales]

Peter Doherty only 99, no doubt an age thing, but my dad would be going mad if still alive. He always told me it was a close call between Peter and the King as to who was the best City player he had ever seen.

 

[DTKOAG]

I must say Mark you have put a lot of time and effort again into this.

 

[levets]

Glauber Berti ahead of Kiddo, Doherty, Weikens & Mcnab? absolute nonsense. Somebody having a laugh

 

[Lavinda Past]

Peter Doherty only 99, no doubt an age thing, but my dad would be going mad if still alive. He always told me it was a close call between a Peter and the King as to who was the best City player he had ever seen.

I know for certain that my dad would have gone beserk if he saw a poll of City players that didn't have Peter Doherty and Frank Swift in the top 5.

Bloody know nowt kids
