City players whose best game at Maine Road or the Etihad was as an opposition player
- Thread starter jamesha
- Start date
Only time I remember for sure seeing him was a midweek game at Reading's old ground the season we went down to the old 3rd division.A few unremarkable appearances on our way to the third tier was the total of his time in lazer blue. Way past his peak when he arrived at Maine Road.
He was shit, we were shit, tried to remove the game from my memory, it was either a 2:0 or 3:0 capitulation(partially removed it!!)
Following season at new ground was much better, noon kick off, in the pub at 11am!! won 3:1.
Not sure if Jamie Pollock was playing for us that day. He MUST have played better against us than for us...surely!!(Scored that cracking goal 'against' us for QPR ofcourse!!)
Not that it really matters but not the most intelligent of footballers from memory (he was no Vincent Kompany for sure!)Had some good games for us as well though, bit of a speedboat that had lost it's rudder.
However, Huckerby was very good for us the season we got promoted under Kevin Keegan. That season we played some really good, attacking , entertaining fast flowing football which very much suited his style of play.

When did he play for City?No mention of Tim Cahill?
Seem to recall him popping up with last minute winners at least a couple of times.

Kit Symons (not sure if it was home or away now tbh) but for fulham against us not long after leaving put in a performance like Maldini. Steve Lomas in a Westham shirt too iirc. Might be bollocks - I was very pissed at most games in those days as a sort of coping mechanism.

definitely a few out there
Kanchelskis for rags in 94/95
Tony Grant for Everton at Maine Road in 95/96
Lee Peacock for Mansfield in 98/99
Michael Branch for Wolves in 99/00
Lee Bradbury for Palace/ Portsmouth in 99/00
surely Mark Robins must have had a half decent game against us for either rags or Norwich
would also mention Peter & Kasper Schmeichel, David Seaman, Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler, Jerome Boateng & Patrick Viera
