Agree with all of these except Hoddle. Hoddle was talented but one of the laziest players I have seen (made Pogba look like a workhorse). Hoddle would never have got into a Pep team. Hansen and Lawrenson were superb technically, years ahead of their times for centre halves. Devonshire would also have done well in a Pep team.Just watching the latest episode from November 1980 and it's as if things changed almost overnight from the '70's.
Many of the pitches looked great and the pace of the games, along with the quality of the footie wasn't too far short of today's.
Got me thinking as to who from the 80's would possibly make it, if they played today.
A few I came up with;
Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson - both incredible centre halves, who could bring that ball out of defence. Pep would have worked wonders with those two.
Garth Crooks - forget his histrionics with his BBC Team of the Week, this guy could play.
Glenn Hoddle - no more needs saying really.
Steve Williams - remember him in the middle of the park for Southampton? Always thought he had tremendous energy and added a few goals as well.
Alan Devonsire
Any more to add?
They recently had on the 1979/80 season on. Each time City were on they generally lost.
A interesting game they showed recently was Brighton away in one of John Bonds 1st games. 2-1 win with Tueart getting both, Steve Daley sent off by a right twat of a ref and City surviving an onslaught off Brighton at the end.
Gerard Sindstadt RIP. “A touch of the real Rodney’s”

RIP.
Good memories. I never warmed to Davies and Motson, but Sinstadt and Wolstenholme were like old friends on Saturday nights. Coleman, I always thought, was a bit of a buffoon. Remarkable.
Different times.

I have a collection of DVDs of City games from the period and Sinsdadt seems to be on nearly all of them. Also presented the “Kick Off” preview show on Friday evenings with his young assistant WelsbyRIP.
