Ex-City Players You Have Rose-Tinted Glasses For

[Sky Blue Thinking]

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

I'll add Mahrez who also had his detractors.

 

[Pearceman]

Gordon Smith.

Nicky Summerbee

Only cos I sat next to him on a flight. He was a gent, a good laugh, bought me a couple of drinks and told me a few stories

Since then I’ve always stuck up for him when he gets slagged off

 

[WestGorton]

Gordon Smith.

Skillful player

 

[jimharri]

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.

I'm one of them!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Joe Hart. I still think he wasn’t given a fair chance but hey ho what do I know. The powers that be wanted him out so he went.
But he still remained loyal to City and I’ve never heard of him saying a bad word about us.
Love our Joe.

Danny Tiatto, always remembered fondly for going through Beckham at Dennis Irwins testimonial.

 

[WestGorton]

Mike Sheron

That big centre back we had - first game hit a ball on the volley from a corner v CFC, near uprooted the post, and the next game made a complete hash of most things. Eliaquim?

Danny Tiatto, always remembered fondly for going through Beckham at Dennis Irwins testimonial.

As I pass the security check at the turnstiles I always tell the operative that I'm as clean as a (enter some rough house merchant, here) tackle. The last game it was Danny Tiatto. "I'm as clean as a Danny Tiatto tackle!"
