Last Manchester-born player to score for us?

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

Pity towns and Cities are measured by bounderies and not distance from City centres.
Stockport isn't and never has been a part of Manchester.

Didn't someone say it was Tricky Trev!

I answered a question on the post-match thread about the last proper City fan to score for us before Phil Foden and said it was Trev but in fact as mentioned on here it was Nedum who was a ball-boy at Maine Rd.

Stockport is Greater Manchester. Cheshire is Chester and Crewe.

Pls don’t link Chester with Crewe

Macken and still is.

He scored one of the best goals against City in 2001.

Possibly Paul Lake or Andy Hinchcliffe, both Mancs.

Pretty sure Lakey is from Denton, Tameside.

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

If you are willing to count friendly's then this answer to this is George Evans (he did play competitively for us but only scored in a friendly i think)

He scored one of the best goals against City in 2001.

What a goal that was. At the other end to us but you could tell it was something special. Convinced Keegan to break our transfer record for him a couple of months later.

Are we including own goals when playing against City?

(I don't know the answer if so, I'm just being awkward).

He's obviously not technically from Manchester.

But Reddish is about as close to the Etihad as you can get, outside of Manchester (and as previously mentioned, much closer than some parts of Manchester).

Far as I know , Phil Forden's family are from Bridge Hall / Adswood area of Stockport , and he grew up around Edgeley . I did see a video clip he did, talking about his junior school, and he said it was Bridge Hall .

Yeah Stockport will never be Manchester, yonners!
