[Gingers Dad]

Bobby Shinton £400k striker. Never scored for City. Last game the cup defeat at Halifax. Swales and Allison really had lost the plot.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Nery Castillo. Was actually buzzing when we signed him too.

I’d hate to think what would’ve happened to him if he was playing for us during storm Eunice

I just stumbled across the highlights of the Denis Law derby in 1974 on YouTube and noticed the City sub was called Phil Henson. Having Googled him it seemed he made a handful of appearances between ‘71 and ‘74, with a loan spell at Swansea in between. So it’s hardly surprising he isn’t a household name but I’m surprised I’ve never even heard of him before today.

Manchester lad, I played in same Mather and Platt team as his brother late 70s

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Yasser Hussain the only Qatari City player

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Barry Silkman - Allison signing late 70’s, played around 20 odd times. Went to a Shalamar gig tonight and there’s Silky MC’ing and promoting them, belting out a half decent rendition of Me & Mrs Jones himself in a gold larmha jacket and snakeskin slippers. Who knew!

 

[SamTheGuru]

TLDR; George Weah.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Sylvinho.

His name was on a City quiz the other day and I completely forgot about his existence in a City shirt.

Unfortunately I still remember him. Was it Aaron Lennon that completely blitzed him all game in the cup?

Jan-Aage Hareide - the ORIGINAL Blue viking

Martin O'Neill played for us very briefly in the early 80s. He was obviously a pretty decent player (and later manager )at various clubs, but didn't really make much of an impression at City did he!
In truth, though I did go to a few games when he was a City player i honestly don't remember any of his performances.
The only thing I do actually remember about him during his time with us was when Northern Ireland played Scotland and both captains were City players. O'Neill was their captain and Asa Hartford(also at City at that time) was Scotand's.

O’Neill said ”John Bond addressed the players for 45 minutes, but said nothing.”

Djamel Belmadi,
Phil Boyer,
Martin Fulop.

Apologies if these are posted already.

Fulop’s dad played for the Germans in Escape To Victory.

That’s all I remember about him, apart from him dying tragically young.

Tsakhadadze & Shelia

Kavelahvilli? Shelia looks a right big mean fucker on that photo

 

[Bluemoon2393]

Jerome Boateng the only signing out off the 4 (David Silva, Yaya Toure, Kolarov and Boateng) that didn't work out.

The other 3 became City legends.
