Returning to Maine Road

[Silva Citizen]

Anyone know the last player to leave city who had played at MR?
I remember watching Ned Onuha at a youth semi or final at MR. I think. Or could it have been SWP who’s shirt looked far too big for him when he played at MR?

Open to being proved wrong but was Defoe the last remaining Prem player to have played at Maine Rd.., actually now I’ve got my brain in gear Crouch, Barry and Milner probably also did. Any more ?

Only thing I miss from Maine Road are the pubs around the ground. The ground itself was a dump. A homage to the ego's of Swales and Franny. Try to imagine Pep standing in front of the Main Stand looking at the Gene Kelly while trying to coach the team through a Champions league match. It just doesn't work

If you could pick 4 stands that didn’t match one single bit, youd’ve hit the jackpot with maine road!!

Never been back, i’ll stick with the happy memories ;)

It just felt like going to a football match going to Maine road if you know what I mean. Walking between the rows of terraced houses and hearing the noise of the ground. Especially night games. There was definitely a magic element to it. You just don't get that anymore
