City's greatest ever players

I've been around for more than a few decades now, and there is one player who was an absolute rock for us in the '70''s, and that was Dave Watson.

He is the most complete player we have ever had in central midfield.

Nothing ever got past him, in the air or on the ground, and he would dominate the game today like he did back then.

He's not often mentioned, but his value today if he was playing would be seriously sky high.

More recently, I'd put Anelka up there as well. He wasn't everyones cup of tea, but his goals kept us up when we needed them.

Did Dave Watson play central mid before Centre Half ? I only remember him playing number 5.

@BlueS Trevor Francis, great shout !

Watson was a centre half. Tommy Booth was the centre back who later did a stint as DM.

Watson was a great player for us. I would add Bell, Lee, Tueart, Doyle, Book, Buzzer and Corrigan from that era. Aguero, Tevez, Kompany, Silva, Hart, Zabs and Yaya from the modern era. Just Kinkladze, Huchison, The Goat, Bernabia and Dunny from The Dark Ages come to mind.
