Ex-City Players You Have Rose-Tinted Glasses For

[Lavinda Past]

Neil Young.First favourite player.
Gerry Gow.Loved him,hard as nails.
Tommy Hutchison.Shame about the og in the final but he got us.
Richard Dunne.Mr reliable.
Joe Hart.Legend shame his time with us was correctly over when it happened.

How could anyone not remember Neil Young fondly?
One of the finest players ever to wear a City shirt in our 60s/70s heydays, a genuine Manchester City legend.

Neil Young deserved a statue just as much as Bell, Lee, and Summerbee.

Oh, Rodney Rodney, I thought he was a fantastic player when I was a kid & still one of the most skilful players I have ever seen, I realise quite a few blues didnt see it the same way.

Del Boy wasnt keen either…!!

Steve lomas-I was disappointed when he was sold to West Ham

Me too, along with Michael Hughes.

Looking for players that were either divisive or unpopular when they were playing for us, but that you remember fondly.

I'd have to start with Aleksandar Kolarov, whose flaws I always liked to overlook. Now I mostly remember the goals and the season he played at centre-back and was genuinely very good.

Me too. Kolarov was a top player

Like another poster has said, Barton gave his all for City on the pitch but I was glad when he left. Especially so when he was jailed.

Robbie Fowler too. He was finished by the time he came here but his incredible potential as a youngster was never fulfilled. He did alright when he wasn’t playing with Anelka. Goals v the rags too.

Seeing as he was a boo boy for lots of his time here, i'll go for Sterling.

E was never a boo boy - just some Mard arse fans. sure, he went from incredible to inconsistent and poor games but never a boo boy.
Oh and he scored over 100 goals for us

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Was he really divisive at the time, though? I don't remember it like that. As I remember it, the vast majority of fans were made up.
I think it's been a revisionist thing over the years about him costing us the title. I still don't believe that's true.

It wasn't him himself but the fact that buying him disrupted a winning team. there was a lot of bad luck we suffered too

Not me.
He was a dilettante.
He ruined the dynamic of the team.
Yes he was a great entertainer but he wasn’t really committed, ever, to anything.
