People are just naming old players now, those bolded ones are all ok. Also, Bob Taylor? He came in for £1.5m scored 5 in 12 then left for £1.5m What's the problem with him? He was pretty good, just couldn't settle.

I agree about Bob Taylor. Also Danny Granville, he did a job at left back in a poor team. Did have reservations about allowing them in the list but I got shouted down.

What was good about John Burridge, David Brightwell and Nigel Clough though?

vouso 3 mill, and didn't play one game i think.

Surley Tricky Ricky Holden has to be on this list he was terrible

Disagree with ya there pal, Tricky Ricky or Slippers to us, was nowhere near the best winger i have seen in the Sky Blue shirt, but he was nowhere near the worst IMHO.

He made many chances and indeed goals for us going down the left and was perfect for Big Niall at the time...

I actually liked him when he played for us, but i have seen milk turn quicker but what a sweet left peg he had!

You can't really say someone was bad considering they didn't play a game for us. He may have been quite good if he'd actually made it onto the pitch, was top scorer for the reserves.

Burridge cost nothing and only played a couple of emergency games, so he wasn't really BAD.

Brightwell came through the ranks and had a tough time because we had pretty good centre backs in front of him at the time. When he filled in for Phelan at LB, he did ok for a kid, playing out of position. He saved us from relegation too if I remember rightly when he banged in that goal against Newcastle. Again, not Kinkladze, but above some of the other names listed.

I always thought Clough was ok for us, not sure where all of the hatred comes from. Maybe I'm wrong, I seem to remember him scoring for us quite regularly, but according to Wiki, he only scored 4 times in his whole City career

Someone may have mentioned him already and I missed it, but I'd say Terry Cooke deserves a place on the roll call of City's worst ever players.

He looked fucking brilliant for half a season when he was angling for a permanent contract and then proceeded to play like a complete c*nt for the next couple of years before we finally managed to get shut of him.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh, he did score one of the penalties at Wembley in '99 afterall.

Bobby Shinton is all alone as City's worst ever player. He was the shit on your shoe.

Cooke was outstanding in the 2nd half of the 2nd division promotion campaign,played his last game when he was subbed in the 1st half at Bolton the following August when Kennedy scored the winner...............

These threads always turn into a 'name any player from the 90's' game.

Tskhadadze, Sheila, Allsopp, Grant, Granville and Crooks aren't really examples our worst ever players.
