Which players do city owe a debt to?

We've had some great servants Bell, Lee, Summerbee, Tueart, Rosler Etc but if we hadn't brought Andy Morrison into the club we'd have been stuck in division three and the club would have dropped into the abyss, for me we owe him for where we are today.
 
Most of the names that came to my mind have already been mentioned on here already, I totally agree about Barton, he may be a couple of pills short of a party but even now with all the talent we've got i'd still have him in the squad, great player to have when you need someone to batter down the opposition midfield (although NDJ is more than capable), you always knew he had a take no prisoners attitude. No one has mentioned David White, he was a risk when we signed him but he scored and provided plenty of much needed goals. And Niall Quinn, just for saving Dean Saunders penalty against Derby (the day before my 16th birthday, cheers Niall) If that had gone in i dont think there was a fan in the place who would have given him a hard time about it, the fact that he saved it though instantly gave him legend status.

What are you on about with David White
He was a member of the blue star team that had Paul Lake in it
He played for the youth team in the 87 final with the likes of a younger Lake, Hinchcliffe, Redmond, Brightwell and Moulden
He terrorised scum's defence in the second leg at Maine Road, which he repeated two years later in the Maine Road Massacre
We DIDN'T buy him
 
For me Robinho,

well ahead of the players in team at the time in terms of talent, got us noticed around the world, and to do what he did in the first season in England around the players we had was nothing short of brilliant.

Wasn't that Barton at Spurs, 3-0 down at half time, Megan knocking on the door of the job centre and won 4-3 ?

Horlock went for aggressive walking. Barton I think earned a second yellow at Spurs just after the whistle went for half time. He was lipping off at the Ref.

Yup. Thanks Joey.

Modern era? Morrison and Weaver. Without either of them we would never have got out of division three.
 
Joey Barton single handed saved this club, and it looks like he is now doing the same as press spokesman at QPR - how City and Newcastle could bear to let him go is a mystery.
