As i imagine was the case for many City supporters who watched the club during the misery that was the mid-to-late nineties, one player stood head and shoulders above anyone else in terms of natural ability. It's probaby fair enough to say, in hindsight, that a twinkle-toed playmaker might not have been exactly what we needed at the time, but for three otherwise largely depressing seasons a diminuative and downright special Georgian midfielder got fans on the edge of their seats and left us with some very special memories.
Nowadays, of course, we have new heroes, and good players donning the sky blue are much less of a rarity, but for many of us, Kinkladze will always have a special place in our hearts. I was wondering if, given the sheer numbers of people who use BlueMoon, and the relative influence it carries amongst supporters and with the club, whether we could do something to get Georgi back over, to a game at Eastlands, perhaps the final day fixture against Norwich to show our appreciation? When was the last time we saw him?
Apologies in advance if this seems like a bit of a silly idea, but given his cult status amongst supporters it's unfortunate that we appear to have lost contact with him. It would be brilliant to see him again, and for us to be able to show him how much he meant to us. We've had chance to do it on a number of occasions with the heroes of the Mercer/Allison years, even other well-thought-of players of later times pop up now and again, but Kinky, absolutely loved here, just feels like a bit of a distant memory.
