Ex-City Players You Have Rose-Tinted Glasses For

[Platt Lane 59]

Elano
Paul Moulden
Michel Vonk

Three very underrated players when we weren't very good.
Paul Moulden seemed ponderous, but came alive in the penalty area.
I'd like to know why Mel Machin (?) really sold him ?
Elano was classy when we seldom had a class player.
Vonky was as tough as he looked. One ugly critter, but seemed to enjoy the hard clashes that were allowed when he played.

I personally admired Neil NcNab - he seemed to carry the team for a fair few seasons.
Always had the ball stuck to his toes, he would get tons of fouls these days...

Gerard Wiekens and er...Maurizio Gaudino.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Lots of great names here.

Barton for me, I know hes a wrong un but even now i have a huge soft spot for him even though hes a twat!

I do too. He’s a working class lad who understands true football people and their values.

Huyton is awful and he suffered from having a brain. It’s almost a hindrance.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I’d only just started watching City and I’d had no idea Edghill was a boyhood Blue from Oldham who came through our youth academy.

It makes the abuse received seem far worse. Poor lad.

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Lee Bradbury .got a lot of stick but I liked him

Oh if we’re being silly, can I have Gerry Creaney, Ged Brennan, Craig Russell, Alan Kernaghan?

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

I was a huge fan of Gary Filtcroft. A shining light in dark days. Was beyond gutted when we sold him.

 

[blueju]

Neil Pointon, brilliant attacking full back.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Peter Beagrie. Didn't have the pace to beat anyone but could twist and turn and deliver a cross

 

[youngbob]

Javi Garcia, Martin Demichelis, Darius Vassell.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

Elano
Paul Moulden
Michel Vonk

Loved Vonky's goal from the puddle v Ipswich in the game that was abandoned. Gutted when the ref called it off, though not as cheesed off as the raging TC.
