Or Rick Holden…. Oh wait.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Gordon Smith.
Terrific player, stylish and creative. Our promotion winning season 84/85 he was top scorer from midfield with 13 goals (no penalties).
Truly appreciated by my good self but not by many others because of his cup final ''miss'' in the last minute against the rags in 1983. But missed by many after he left....

 

[JGL07]

Ian Bowyer. He ran like he had two left feet and looked totally ungainly.

He had a few decent games but was never really appreciated by the support at City. Brian Clough made him a world beater at Forest.

Stan Bowles was a similar case.

 

[city2]

Hanmann was brilliant at breaking up attacks

 

[roy.or.r]

Mangala and Bony.

 

[KS55]

Or Tueart

Or Peter Barnes

 

[KS55]

Demichellis

 

[Bluesince1979]

Paul Stewart.

Did you not know how good he was at the time?
He was far and away our best player

Id have been 14 when we sold him. Was in a car going to france when it came on the radio he was going spurs and i cried

 

[DMA's]

Mahrez was one of my favourite players when he was at City. So many people held that penalty miss at Anfield against him for years. Chipped in with so many under the radar goals, now none of our wingers have a goal in them

He also never missed a game through injury. As you say many just had it in for him after that Anfield game.

If you didn’t appreciate mahrez then i dont think football is for you. Mahrez was a truly elite winger
