Most underrated City player ever?

[Zapcity]

Gerry Gow and Paul Power in the 81 cup team . Everton away and semi against Ipswich. Both did a great job.

Gerry Gow, certainly liked to 'get stuck in', probably be sent off almost every game now!, loved by City fans in the short time he was with us.
Paul Power was never especially popular or massively rated and always seemed to get a lot of unfair flak from the terraces. A blue through and through and i seem to remember always applauded the travelling City fans after games.
Maybe not the most naturally gifted player ever to play for us, but he a decent left sided midfielder. 'Gladys' (as he was known by some) could put in a decent cross and scored a few important goals particularly in the 81 Cup run. The late equaliser at Everton and the free kick (which wasn't actually a free kick was it!) at Villa Park in the semi were great moments leading to brilliant celebrations.

Joe Corrigan.

Not the most underrated ever by any means but someone who seems to get lumped in with the rest of the shit from the early 80s and I always thought was a pretty decent player was Kevin Reeves.

I think his whole career was done and dusted in about 10 years because of injuries but he’s someone I always think could have been top notch if he’d not had the bad luck he did.

Not sure, he seems too calm to be a manager, which should be a strength, but how many calm managers have been successful?

Ancelotti off the top of my head.

Calmness is a stregnth dont forget young man.

No no no.

I remember him missing an open goal by smashing the ball onto the crossbar in the last minute away at Doncaster in a cup match.
It was a ridiculous miss and fucked my bet of £135 coming in.
Think it was the game Nedhum accidentally broke their keepers leg, not to sure but i remember Sun's miss like it was yesterday

Was it the miss or the fact you lost the money that upset you? At least we sold 500 billion shirts in china when we bought Sun.

He left because he was out of contract, we had no manager and no chairman. We were an utter shambles.
Even I would have left City that summer in similar circumstances
Meanwhile James fucked off to the same club for double money, under the guise of spurious family reasons, and got a hero’s welcome from the South stand while Distin got a load of shit. Never understood that

The truth often gets in the way of a good story.

I liked Michael Hughes, strange how he left and where he went to at the time.

He was quality, especially in the final game of the 94/95 season.

Thank you for that goal.

Going to go with Paul Power like a few other posters.

Blue through and through,was a victim of the boo boy's back in the day.
Went to Everton and won a league title.

Played on the flanks, like so many of the other players that get unfairly slagged off even now.

Think it was not being able to beat Doncaster over 90 minutes which smarted
