One of the most remarkable (statistically) was Ian Thompstone, a 17-year-old debutant who came on as a sub for Trevor Morley, for the last 2w0 minutes, in a game at Middlesbrough in April 1988and scored City's goal in a 2-1 defeat (we always seemed to lose at 'Boro in those days).
So his goals-to-games ratio (1 goal in a career that lasted 20 minutes) is statistically unequalled, since he never played another game for City.

Were any Bluemooners at that game and saw his goal? I wasn't!

I’ve just sent Ian a text so he can rewatch his goal

Simon Colosimo

Remember going to a pre season game at Halifax under Keegan and Colosimo playing. Only other thing I can remember about that day was Strongbow didnt seem to be available in Halifax. As for Colosimo don't recall him outside of pre season, bit like Vuoso after him.

Tony Whelan, around 1973.

Anyone else recall Steve Fleet? He was reserve goalkeeper for a period when Bert Trautmann was a fixture in the first team. He made only 5 appearances in five seasons. He last game was a 6-0 defeat to Birmingham City in the 1962-63 relegation season.

I do recall an article in the Evening News ‘The Fleet’s In’. By the time of his last appearance, Harry Dowd was ahead of him as replacement for Bert.

Steve moved on to Wrexham, Stockport, and Altrincham . He later had a managerial spell in Iceland.

Some of the random Scottish players during Billy McNeill’s time seemed to come and go without really registering in the collective blue consciousness. Dom Sullivan, Duncan Davidson, Gordon Dalziel and Ken McNaught

I actually thought Dalziel was okay in the brief time he spent with us - he had his skilful moments - but like so many in those days if you blinked you missed his City career.

Ken McNaught of course had had a great career - League & European Champion in his day ... but sadly well past his best by the time he rocked up at City.

Those were the days ... unbelievable how we somehow got from there to here.

barney daniels..apologies if already mentioned but 56 pages is a lot to scroll through.

Just the 5 times prior to yours. I can understand not wanting to trawl though 50+ pages but the search function (top right) is really helpful for things like this. I mean there's a drop down menu to limit the results to just this thread too. How clever is that?

Definitely not me, and I hope you re right....

 

[bluealf]

Definitely not me, and I hope you re right....

Neil Mcnab had a thread on here not so long ago due to him being not so well, Alex Williams is still doing things for CiC and I presume others haven't forgotten Keith Curle due to his penner v the scum.

Apparently the video posted on you tube was put on by a boro fan and Ian had not seen the clip until over 20 years later

Always remember neil for the first goal in the 10-1, after we’d been battered off huddersfield for the first 20mins :)

Michael Branch, Darren Wassall, Trevor Christie, Barry Siddall, Tony Grant, Lee Peacock, Jason Van Bleurk, Matthew Mills, Bill Williams, Tyrone Mears, Simon Tracey, Tony Scully, Glenn Whelan, Robert Hopkins, Mark Seagraves, Nicky Summerbee (2nd time round 2001)

He didn't have a second time around in 2001. He trained with the club for a few weeks to keep fit when he didn't have a club and nothing more.
