Players that feel like they never played for us.

Viera - genuinely don't remember him playing for us for more than 30 minute sub appearances.

Yes but he brought something to the squad in terms of a winning mentality, and was a big part when our mentality started to change to match the expectation of the media etc. if I remember he was part of our first team that qualified for CL. I’m a bit muddy, so much has happened in the last 20odd years. He was also a great club rep in the manner in which he can speak so eloquently and how he conducts himself as a gentleman. His legs were gone and his playing time was limited but he was a big part in our change as a club for me

Definitely a big part of the squad, irregardless of playing time. Same as Kompany in his injury-hit seasons.
 
He played 23 out of position at LB (he had played LB for Germany in the prior WC but almost all his prior club football at CB). He played one game at CB in a league cup match for us and looked ace. I thought at the time we were missing a trick in not giving him a run in his best position. As we all know know - he was a world class CB and never really played LB again once he moved back to Germany.

We are at a similar point now with Stones / Laporte. Got to be the first choice pair this year for us.

You're both right, of course. Quality CB but also a shithouse. A top, TOP shithouse.
 
Jimmy Conway scored our last goal of the season at Coventry in 1977 to ensure we finished second behind the Red dippers
