Last Manchester-born player to score for us?

[bluekat]

Have we renamed the viaduct after him yet???

great buzz when a local lad breaks through, havent felt this optimistic since a certain Adrian Roosevelt Mike!

"Roosevelt".....really???

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Most probably Aidy Mike?

Assuming that people are saying Michael Johnson was from Trafford area?

Maybe we first need to find out where Foden was born and if that changes the topic.
Unless the topic wasn’t born out of Foden scoring yesterday and the lad has nothing to do with the question asked.

So looking at the Stats page - depends how purely you want to define Manc.
Last Manchester raised player Nedum Onuoha 11 April 2010 v Birmingham
Michael Johnson - as pointed out born in Urmston, Trafford - 28 Oct 2009 v S****horpe
but last born within City of Manchester (b Blackley although I think he was raised in Middleton, which is Rochdale) - Jon Macken 27 November 2004 v Aston Villa - but then he's

If we want someone born within City of Manchester - of the current squad we need Daniel Grimshaw, Cameron Humphrey's, or Tom Dele-Bashiru, to get their chance and score a goal

But I also haven't managed to check whether anyone who scored an Own Goal for us was born in Manchester - but suspect that is not really the answer that is being looking for in any case.

Again, just change the question to “last academyplayer who played through every youthlevel at City, to score for us” .

I think this thread is disappearing up its own 'rear'

 

[Fame Monster]

Jon Macken - born in Crumpsall Hospital like all of the greats

Stockport is Greater Manchester. Cheshire is Chester and Crewe.

Macken and still is.

He's a city fan by the way. Met his Dad at the Qpr game.
