Also scored our first ever Champions League goal if I'm not mistaken.

Of course. My mistake. Hart's also technically not yet an ex-player.Zab, yes, Hart didn't play in either of the league cup wins.
The most decorated left back in the history of MCFC
Speak to any of the staff who work behind the scenes, the tv crew, the Kit men, the receptionists, the restaurant staff, the cleaners.........which player would always say hello to you, which player would never ignore you, which player would always have a laugh, which player would always find five minutes to have a chat with you........................they would all say......Alexander Kolarov.
I find it so sad in his farewell video that he acknowledges that for some fans his departure has not come soon enough. He's up there with the best, Barkas, Pardoe,Little and Donachie. Legend.

Alan Oakes won a fair bit. First division, Second division, Fa Cup, League Cup, Cup Winners' Cup...Zab, yes, Hart didn't play in either of the league cup wins.

George Weah.Is there a more decorated ex-player?
I liked him and quite rated him for a number of years when he would get shit. He was very good in the 13/14 season also. I just found it hard to take to him and few of the other players again after the shit they served up in Pellegrini's final season in charge.
Cheers and good luck.

This, cheers murderer, I call him this because when he first signed I watched a youtube vid called Alex kolarov murderer were he nearly knocked out a couple of players and a ref with his free kicks, top guy and gave his all to the cause, thank you :)that's how a left back should leave City.
Take note James Milner.
Thanks Aleks.

We're all desperate for a new dangerous, attacking left back now, but let's not forget the number of important goals scored from Kolarov crosses fired across the 6 yard line. Not so many in the last couple of years, but his ability to pick out a winger down the length of the pitch was just as effective for us against a few bottom half teams this season - and no one else really offered that.
And surely even the most critical fans loved every rocket and free kick he scored. Doubt we'll be seeing so many strikes hit with that sort of power for at least a few years, even if quite a few of them nearly took the head off a small child.
All in all, he gave us something different, and if only he'd tracked back a little faster and turned up more consistently he might have been fondly remembered by more of us.
