Last Manchester-born player to score for us?

[Prestwich_Blue]

As the thread title says, before the Stockport Iniesta's goal last night, who was the last local - born player to score for us?

I don't know by the way. Someone else asked me.

I've just Wiki'd him and he was born in Urmston, so I stand corrected

michael johnson?

Could well be. He scored in a LC tie against S****horpe in October 2009 which we won 5-1.

Some would say Stockport isn't Manchester.

I agree it's not and never will be.

It isn't but it's part of Greater Manchester and it's six and a half miles from Mersey Square to the Etihad, which is three miles less than Wythenshawe

So's Trafford (Manchester postcode), but we don't class that lot as playing in Manchester.
