Random City Players

Gary Megson. Utter shite.
Danny Mills. Ditto - except for 1 unbelievable 30 yard goal he scored one day. WTF?!?! - we all thought!
But, it was a flash in the pan; he stole his living from us and was indeed utter shite.
 
Oi!! I like Ricky Holden . .genuine. always liked wingers who had such good ball control that they didn't have to rely on just pace....
Watched him destroy our defence for Oldham at Maine Rd when he set up a couple of goals by slinging in really high crosses from the left wing ,which Roger Palmer with his "Stretch Armstrong' neck dispatched past our keeper in a 4-1 win for Oldham.palmer got 3 that day.

I also enjoyed watching him play for City,cos he didn't even look like a footballer,not athletic,but he could cross a ball and for a short period in our history the 'Holden cross,Quinn towering header at the far post' was an effective attacking ploy for us.
Anyone remember the away chant
'weve got Tricky Ricky Ricky Holden on the wing ,on the wing !!'

It never REALLY took off..... obviously...but it was me and a mate from Wales who started that chant. And I'm proud of it, lol!!
Not the greatest City player ever but I liked him too. Didn't he end up running a pub up Oldham way?
