David Silva retires from football (pg13)

[its a Barm]

Just loved watching him play my all time favourite player.

David, along with Sergio, were my favourite players of this current era, i luved watching both of them.

David was the greatest midfielder i've ever seen for us and made us tick.
There's a reason he was called The Magician and he will rightfully go down as a City legend.

It was a shame we never gave him a proper send off - sort that out City!

All the best to him and his family.

Time to bring him home one last time to give him the send off he deserves

And Sergio, we never said goodbye to both, get them over for the Newcastle game !!!!

 

[pride in battle]

He now has his own Vineyard amongst other things.
Apparently he could drink every other City player under the table...:)

 

[Golden Silva]

My favorite City player ever. Just beautiful on the eye.

I always remind non City fans about how great he was.... not just for City, but for Spain, where he stands out against the best of the best.
Better than Xavi and Iniesta

Football will be a poorer place without El Mago. Having been lucky enough to watch both players I cannot split them as to who was the better players, as both were different types of players - King Colin or Sir David.
An absolute delight to have seen them both in action and both wearing our Sky Blue shirts.
David please come back to The Etihad as you will have a wonderful and deserved "send off".
All my mates who are either Rags,Dippers, Toffess,Gooners and The Shed Boys all say the same thing about him "a wonderful gifted player who they loved watching and would have loved to have seen him in their Club colours".
That says a lot about "Our David". He was liked and admired throughout the footballing world.
Stupendous Dave.

I remember when we used to panic if he was injured in the early days in particular , he was that important to us , just the best ever

Loved you Dave, best ever after Kun and VK.

Sad day for our legend, he's welcome back at City anytime. What a player he was for us, in the top three of my favourite ever City players

Best player to ever put on the sky blue shirt. Really hope he could come back one day at some capacity
