It was significant because we had a team on that day who were expected to roll over and accept a 10-0 paggering at the hands of the evil machine.

As it turned out, we defended stoutly and attacked with a hiterto unseen style, swagger and panache thus proving the point, never under estimate your opponent.

It represents our biggest home win against them too. It's not something we go round living off, but it is something we hold dear and chuckle about from time to time. Much in the same way we still look at the Morecambe & Wise Christmas specials - we still giggle and thoroughly enjoy them, despite them being in the past and of their time.

it took 5 pages - but without a doubt

served city selflessly over years
captained us through our most successful period
managed us to runners up and our last proper silverware
took on whatever city asked of him, and took it on the chin when we didnt want him anymore
then had the good grace to come back when he was once again needed
a great bloke and a blue legend

Just want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread, got plenty of ideas now it's going to make everything that bit easier, cant wait to get the table name/picture cards made up now. I'm really starting to look forward to the big event, so glad (and lucky) I'm marrying a woman who is as passionate about city as me, or I might never have got my city themed wedding lol, so once again a big thank you my blue brethren you prove why were the best fans in the land in all the world. :0)

1. Colin 'The King' Bell - Top Table of course
2. Francis Lee
3. Mike Summerbee
4. Alan Oakes
5. Tony Book
6. Joe Mercer
7. Paul Lake - Would have been an all time legend for me!
8. Gio - I would go for the 'Kinky Table' of course
9. Joe Corrigan
10. Shaun Goater

My top 3 City players since ive been a fan have been Gio Kinkladze, Uwe Rosler and Shaun Wright-Phillips! Plus there are 2 undoubted legends in the Goat and Dickov!

Theres 25 players to keep you going, plus obviously Joe Mercer and Malcom Allison!

BTW my Grandad reckons players like Brook and Doherty were as good as Bell Lee and Summerbee and are not mentioned enough as our top players! but they were at City before the famous successful side came about and in the late 60's and early 70's became television started showing football more whereas in the past they did not!
