Played for City but never should have

[Tim of the Oak]

Kevin Bond. Decent player but ruined dressing room harmony.

 

[traditionalleesy]

Stuart Lee

And a crap comedian

 

[melrose40yarder]

Where to start

Rodney Marsh - flash cockney who Mal loved but cocked up a likely title winning team

McIlroy - why?

Bobby Shinton - bloody awful

Terry Park - won a comp to play for us I think

Bill Williams - see above

Mark Ward - an odious little ****

Robert Hopkins - legend in his own mind

Ged Brennan - absolute tripe

Buster Phillips - stature of an anorexic

Barry Conlon - looked like a Bus Conductor

Martyn Margetson - arguably the worst City keeper I've ever seen, and I saw John Burridge & Barry Siddall

Christian Negouai - If we'd had a volleyball team he'd have been ideal

Simon Colosimo - like an extra from Neighbours who wandered into our training ground

And a side nomination of should never have been
manager to Alan Ball and Mark Hughes.

Agree with them except Mark Ward
Did a good job for us.
U forgot Bradbury,Bob Taylor,Lee Peacock,Gareth Taylor,Van Blerk.
To name a few.
U have Brannan in there he is the worst footballer and i use the term footballer loosely the worst i have seen in my 56 yrs hated him with a passion could not pass,tackle and was an absolute shithead.
Nigel Clough was gash too.

Maybe I should have explained myself better.
Not players who were not good enough to play for city. There is an almost endless list of those.
I mean players who never should have been allowed to wear our shirt because of their previous.
I’ve had a drink so maybe not coming across as I mean to.

Lampard

Lampard was great in his spell for us. We only signed him on loan because the club recognised he still had another season of top flight footy in him before being put out to pasture in Yankland.

His equaliser against Chelsea was funny as fuck.

Top signing was Lampard, I’d actually put him in the cult hero bracket.

 

[levets]

David Phillips was a great signing for us! To swap him for Perry Suckling was criminal.

Graeme Sinclair played in the Chelsea loss in the League Cup and the loss at Pompey a few days later - one of Billy McNeill’s 10 Jocks he signed or loaned!

I get it ;-)

Way too long a list.

Lampard

Lampard? You clearly had had a drink. Or 4.

 

[BillCarlisle]

McPointiman all day long. Never a City player, ever. Except that unfortunately he was for a short time.

Didi Hamman

 

[Gingers Dad]

Mark Ward. I'm not sure I ever really got over us getting rid of Ian Bishop for him.

Ward could have been brilliant for City if the fans could have got over how he was signed. I was at Villa the night Whitey scored four and Ward was superb. He wouldnt acknowledge the City fans at the end, despite Reid arguing with him. He was probably just sick of the City fans by then.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Peter Bodak… we played a pre season friendly at Rhyl, he was playing, the only one on the team sheet I had ever heard of.
He wasn’t good
Ever.
We lost 3-0
Other than the football it was a good day out..

Went to that game. The linesman had a fucking United tattoo!! Brave bugger showing that off in front of City fans in "Liverpool by the sea"

 

[TinFoilHat]

Jo

Fucker was always cup tied.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Adrian Heath, never seen a less talented forward, and yes I include Tony Cunningham

I remember seeing him scoring against Luton from the halfway line and my old man saying; "It had to be that useless bastard"

 

[Dave El Magico]

I’d like to add Roque Santa Cruz. Cost us £17.5m and 4 year contract. Played 20 games, scored 3 goals. Great signing by ex rag Mark Hughes!
