Have you ever seen one of the all time greats play City?

Lads, one of the all time greats played for City. George Weah. I remember being completely in awe of this guy in the mid 90's. He was terrifying defenders across the strongest defensive league in the world for fun.

World Player of the year, 3 times African Player of the Year, European Player of the year, African player of the Century.

Yeah - but he wasn't a patch on Paul Dickov (ask Uncle Joe). If he had been African - it would have been him who won all that stuff.

I'm pretty sure City played Ajax in a friendly in the early 70s, and won 3-0. I thought Cruyff played, but I could be wrong.

All the England 1966 World Cup winning team plus Ronaldinho. That's all I can come up with off the top of my head apart from Tranny.

It was late 1968, it was arranged after our defeat by Fenerbahce in the European Cup - I'm not sure whether Cruyff played either.

I think Neeskens played against us once. Not sure he counts in that class though.

I've seen Phil Jones play live about 5 times. I was in Wythenshawe.

Fixed.

Half the Bayern team from the other week?

That thought crossed my mind too.

Lewandowski for Dortmund?

Henry definitely.

And if he continues to play at the level he has since his arrival at Etihad, Sergio 'Kun' Agüero could easily join that select group.
