Having watched real and barca yesterday both GK were captain.just wondering when if any gk at city has ever been captain. Im sure given has been it before but not sure.

I remember Joe Corrigan captaining the side on a few occasions, also Frank Swift captained England while he was with City, not sure whether he was City captain.
 
There have been in the past i think. but i think its more a 'continental' thing now alot of german and spanish teams do it but not many english.
 
I don't think there have been any permanent goalkeeper captains, however I think Schmeichel, James and Weaver captained the sides on a few occasions when the captain was absent.
 
Yeah, but apart from Corrigan and possibly Swift, Weaver, James and Schmeichel, is there any precedent for having a City GK as skipper? (Maybe only GK's called Joe, eh? A fine potential skipper if Vincent misses games)
 
may well be completely wrong about this but i have a vague memory of eike immel captaining us for a short while. (i'm not joking either)
