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 meant in the last 10 years or so.

Didn't Schmeichel captain us against the rags one time? Seem to remember that.

 

[MCFC 4 EVER]

I seem to remember Nicky Weaver being captain for a few games

 

[MrOblivious]

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.

 

[Toney’s bookie]

I have blurry memories of Tony Coton wearing the armband a few times. The blurriness have been the beer though.

 

[EddieR]

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)

 

[Kayla-CTID]

Shay Given captained us a few times!

 

[Smith_]

Shay did a couple of games, remember him captain during the CC final first leg.

 

[mcfcphil]

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)

A Goalkeeper should never capatin a team IMO
