RIP MIKE DOYLE

tbh i was not old enough to see him play all i can go by is my father. he says that he was not the complete technical player but he loved playing for the man city and was a great competitor and wanted to be a city legend more than the current lot....
 
OMG Really?

Extraordinary player who never got the recognition he deserved at England level.

Far better than Hughes or Thompson.

Thank God he lived to see another Trophy.

Just had a text off a mate telling me
Can't believe it, we were discussing when was the last time we saw him at the ground just last week, and then someone starting the thread about a song for him

A great blue, one of my all time favourites, not the greatest technically but he had a passion and a will to win unsurpassed by many. His hatred of all things scum is legendary and he will be sadly missed by those who saw him play.

Two of that great team in just five months.......

I can remember one tackle at Wembley that was absolutely top drawer.

He outpaced McDonald who was clean through on goal and poleaxed him.<br /><br />-- Sat Jul 02, 2011 1:38 pm --<br /><br />

The biggest blue of them all perhaps?

R.IP. Mike Doyle

I'd agree with that.

He was a true blue to the very core of his being.
 
I reckon a new banner is called for.

How about some sort of tribute at The Charity Shield...? It would be apt since it's against that lot.
 
Saw him play in the 70s. As others have said, a colossus. RIP.

It strangely seems like the great old guard are passing on the glory to the new.
