When we signed Gerry Gow back in 1980 I was bemused to say the least, how wrong I was to doubt him !
He was absolutely brilliant and is one of my all time favourite City players RIP Gerry my kind of midfield ball winner !!!

Has to be VK, surely?
Signed as a decent if not exceptional defensive mid, and turned into arguably the best centre half in world football (at his peak).

Toure for me. Didn't know what to expect when we signed him. Certainly didn't expect what we got.

For me he was always one of those 'if he ever becomes available you just have to get him' midfielders. Could see the magic when he was at barca, you canusually notice in the way they shield and retain the ball. All the time in the world amd they know exactly what they're going to do with it next eithout seeming to actually make much effort. Saw similar qualities in Zidane and Kanu. Relaxed and in control whem on the ball.Was just going to post Toure myself. Never expected what we got. Outstanding player.
When we got him I knew something spevial had arrived.
