Looks good in blue, eh?

;-)

One of my greatest achievements as a Citeh fan is seeing him and Steve Daley actually score for us. Honest to God, they did!

Er; not in the same game, obviously!

Nice kit.

Nice kit.

That's a good shout, actually. Way better than anything Puma or Nike have given us.


Yes; there maybe an argument to be had for the "Colin Bell" kit worn in the treble season. I actually think that Umbro one is nicer, though.

Tommy Docs son, Mick, played for us in the late seventies. He was shite.

 

[Milesvk]

I was at that match. I remember Morley ,didn't think at the time he'd make it with us,tall lean centre back, comfortable on the ball...actually ,we could do with him now.!

Didn't he play upfront against Oxford at home the following week. We lost 3-2

I do like the treble kit though.

Has anyone mentioned Dalian Atkinson?

I remember during one game at Maine Road against Stoke, a bloke sat behind me shouted 'Go on Dalian, the black shadow!"

The goal he scored for Villa away at Wimbledon was class. Ran form his own half ans then chipped the keeper.

 

[NLW Blue]

I was there for that and remember the guy behind me saying" you were meant to sky it you little twat" and had a few of us pissing our sides.

I remember Adrian Heath scoring quite a good chipped goal against Luton in a 4-0 win at Maine Road.

 

[eastmanc]

Peter Bodak
Bobby Shinton
Both not the best to say the least.

Yeah I remeber his debut away at West Bromley, we brought him back on loan from some Turkish team, the same day there was a tannoy announcement 15 mins into the game asking all the city fans to stop sun bathing behind the stand and enter the stadium to take their seats.

Mark Seagrave
When we were drawn against liverpool in the FA Cup quarters (1988 IIRC) it was written that two scousers, Redmond and Seagrave, would have to stop the scousers
Seagrave didn't make it onto the pitch and liverpool ripped us a new arsehole

 

[old blue]

Not read the whole thread but do remember being on the kippax with fellas saying “ who the fck is Barry Conlan”

I do not remember the Pope gracing the Kippax.

Not sure we ever sunk low enough to end up playing West Bromley. York, yeah. And Chesterfield. And Wycombe Wanderers. And and and....

Barry Conlon.
Looked like Prince Edward chasing shadows

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Tony Scully

I never knew fashanu scored a hatrick against utd reserves!!
I was City daft at the time so not sure how I missed that one.

I did see him play for us away at Derby County in the 6nil drubbing..one of the worst days of my life .6nil to Derby ?
Wow.he wasn't t much cop for us,shortlived City career
Would that be around the time Bet Lynch got hold of him and took around certain nightclubs in Manchester...

Went to that reserve Derby at the swamp. Fashanu was brilliant. Remember a bullet back stick header in his hat trick

We wore maroon shorts for that one IIRC

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Gordon Dalziel, Duncan Davidson.

Graeme Sinclair, Dominic Sullivan, David Johnson, Mike Walsh and Ken McNaught were more of our short term/loan signings of that era

 

[TheGhost]

Have we had Geoff Lomax yet?

 

[Norman kneejerk]

Tony Grant another loan from Everton, 2000, quite liked him. Talent who lost his way type iirc.
