Nedum On About Maine Rd

[bluemoon27]

Good to hear Nedum on about his Maine Road memories on the official site,interesting saying that he played in the real last game there against leeds,also noticed myself on the video in the north stand dressed as the mask,oh the memories what a place it was

 

[Dancini]

He and maybe Richards are the only ones to have played there?

Shaun of course, any of our current players played for the opposition?

 

[DidsburyCitizen]

Great vid! Got a bit choked watched it at times... Ned's a great lad.

Vieira and possibly Sylvinho did I think cos they battered us there when Vieira was playing, maybe even Toure? Bridge has and Lescott played for Wolves and got sent off when Ali B did that crazy roll! I remember watching us against Villa in the Main Stand and their two standout players were Barry and Vassell. I remember Vass being a real threat!

Bellers I remember nicking that back pass off Edghill for Coventry that time.

 

[wilmslowblue]

Bellemy for coventry!!!!

 

[fbloke]

I took my eldest lad to the Leeds game as we coudnt make it to the last 1st team appearance.

Although we drove over in any case to take in the atmos.

 

[Danamy]

Bridgey was there for the last game playing for Southampton.

This was the main reason for your post wasn't it? Go on you can admit you just wanted to point out that you were in the video.

 

[Nevizade]

Stuart Taylor?

Forgot about Shay but yea he no doubt played there. Not sure IF Stuart Taylor did? I remember him having a little run in the Arsenal team when he was young but I dunno if he played against us at Maine Road?

Did this as a quiz question for the end of 2008... How many of the current squad have played at Maine Road?

Now, though, I'd say:

Given (Newcastle), Taylor (Arsenal), Lescott (Wolves), Bridge (Southampton), Onuoha (City), Barry (Villa), Vieira (Arsenal), Wright-Phillips (City), Bellamy (Newcastle)

Sylvinho (Arsenal)?

Toure?

No.

Last season at Maine Road was 2002/03. Toure joined Arsenal in February 2002 (so it was the 01/02 season, when City were in Division One). So there was one game he could have played in - the 1-5 in February 2003.

For that game, the team was: Taylor, Keown, Campbell, Lauren, Vieira, van Bronckhorst, Pires (Edu 74), Gilberto Silva, Bergkamp (Parlour 64), Wiltord (Jeffers 74), Henry

Onuoha never played in a first team game at Maine Road.

 

[kippaxkid74]

Can you post a direct link to Ned's int please, i can't find it on the official site (i may be having a "duh" moment!) ;)

Onuoha never played in a first team game at Maine Road.

No, but as other posters have said (and i was there at the match myself!) he played in the last ever match held at maine road by an official city team (ie not those fan matches) - about 4 days after the last first team match against southampton was the academy title play off against Leeds, city opened the maine stand and a few hundred went. We lost. But it was a special night.
there was a piece about it in the "treasure trove" section of the programme recently - they included a match photo a fan took.
I'm pretty sure Stephen Ireland played in that match too.
