Mike Doyle alongside Dave Watson: it's a wonder we ever conceded a goal!

I made the trip to Wrexham solely to watch his England debut. For me, as Colin will always be The King, Doyle will always be Mr. Manchester City.

As my username shows, my favourite player. Weirdly reminds me of Bernardo Silva. Commitment to City.

And Donachie at LB.
Shame our RB's were not of the same standard at that time (Kenny Clements, nice lad mediocre player).

Yes, Donachie was superb, but you'll have to wait and post on his birthday!

Doyle - fighting with Brian Kidd in 1968. Walking off Old Trafford through a hoard of the great unwashed scum, scrambling to get out of his way in 1974. Hard as fuckin' nails and loved City.

Two vital goals I was lucky enough to witness - the only goal against Chelsea over Easter in the 1968 league winning season. The equaliser against WBA in the 1970 League Cup Final. He bled blue blood.

Yeh that was me as well, not a great day.

Doyle’s toughness would do wonders at the mo, just what we need.
He hated the rags almost as much as he loved City.
I first saw him in the Youth cup semi at the swamp. He set about them in no uncertain manner.
