Slowest ever City player

You’re just following me around this week, yeah?

Gary Megson was a slow mover... but his pointing was really quick, never seen pointing in different directions so quickly.

I based the end of my playing days in his style
 
Wasn't that the German left back Michael Frontzeck who could open tins with his left foot. I remember his debut against QPR, he was immense and knocked the fuck out of Mark Hately. I remember thinking we'd pulled a blinder signing a German full international for nothing, but sadly it wasn't to be.

My season ticket was in Platt Lane that season and my mate who gave me a lift was in the North Stand so I used to watch the last few minutes from the top of the steps and then leg it round to meet him. I started to notice that Frontzeck would be substituted midway through the second half and by the time I'd be walking past the main entrance he'd be showered, changed and stood there waiting to get in a taxi. Does anyone else remember this, because I always thought it was a bit strange that he was allowed to fuck off straight after the game before Alan Ball had given his inspirational post match team talk.
No it was definitely Alfons who according to Peter Reid could perform this act.
 
I was reading the thread title Ricky Holden immediately came to mind.
After reading all the other suggestions he still gets my vote, his impression of a one legged tortoise will never be bettered.

I seem to remember Sibierski and Kiki Mussampa being slower than fatigued snails carrying some heavy shopping , but having some decent touches which was quite a novelty at the time.
