City's greatest ever players

Aguero is top five now and will be number one if he stays fit for the majority of the rest of his contract.
 
Top Notch
-------------
Dave Watson
Colin Bell
Carlos Tevez
Sergio Aguero


Worthy Of A Mention
--------------------------
Asa Hartford
Joe Corrigan
Francis Lee
Yaya Toure
David Silva


These are players I feel able to comment on, much older ones are out of scope for me.
These are who I consider to be truly top class.
There are countless others I'm fond of and adore, but hand on heart can't really say they would be the envy of any team at the time they played for us.

Dzeko.

Frustrating at times. But he's sixth in the premier league list of goals per minute ( yes I know football existed before 1992)

Our league win in 2014 was largely down to him and Toure scoring vital goals. The 4 goals away at Spurs was one of the most complete centre forward displays I've seen. Scored for fun at the swamp.

And if you ever read the Begovic interview about Dzeko's childhood in Bosnia then you can't help but root for the guy

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only member of the Dzeko fan club. Despite what people will say, you'd have to say he's one of City's greatest ever strikers.

I'd say David but Bell in his day was gorgeous to watch

Bell was a different type of player than Silva.

He could tackle and break up play. He could create and he scored so many goals that many thought he was a striker.

For me his finest performance was at the Swamp in 1968. City went a goal down early on but Bell then took total control of the match. City won 3-1.

There's an old timer goes in my local, says Law scored 5 possibly 6 in a game that was later abandoned due to waterlogged pitch, only for his goals not to count. Says it's the best City performance he's ever seen. If he is telling the truth, then that plus back heeling them into div 2 is well worth it.

The best performances I've ever seen in a City shirt.
1, Wanchope away at Leeds, he was totally unplayable, we won 2-1. Anyone there that night will remember.
2, Benarbia at Sheffield Wednesday. Never seen a midfield display like it.
3, Silva at WBA first game of the season. Simply delightful.
4, Hart in Barcelona last season. Unreal.
5, Berkovic in the Derby that Anelka was supposed to have handled the ball and we were robbed of the winner. He totally bossed that game. * would love it if someone could remember that game and what year it was.

Obviously I'd add our current favourites to the top 50, Hart, Kompany, Ya Ya, Silva and Aguero. Tevez on effort and talent makes it too for me.

I'd also like to see the inclusion of Benarbia and Berkovic.

Denis Law scored 6 goals for City away at Luton in the FA Cup and the match was abandoned due to rain .... Law scored again in the replay but Luton got 3 so City were out .... Law scored 7 and was on the losing side

It was 1961 or 62
