Who’s your favourite player to play for City and why?

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Hard to choose a favourite but Bellamy was quick & direct. KDB, both Silvas, Sergio, Rodri, so many players gave so many great memories. Dzeko 4 v spurs etc etc.

 

[JRockBlues]

If I had any then choosing my favourite child would be easier.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

100% Silva, the greatest player to play in the premier league for me

 

[Shaelumstash]

David Silva.

The best player in the best team ever seen in this country.

 

[Dazzle84]

David Silva and feels like he always will be for me

Arthur Mann
Probably not really my favourite but it's all his fault !
Been so many amazing players since then

 

[Protein Junkie]

In my childhood my hero was Colin Bell. Everyone else just tries to emulate him in my mind as an adult.
Nijinsky ( one for the FOCs) in his Cherry and black stripped kit. Will never forget that image.
Mike Doyle runner up.
Phil Foden bronze medal.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Different eras, different favourites.

Colin Bell

Ali Bernarbia

Yaya Toure

That is what has been holding me back. Different eras, different favourites!!

50s Bobby Johnstone
60s Bert Trautmann/Roy Paul
70s Tony Book/Colin Bell/Mike Doyle

Then I come to Richard Dunne, Vincent Kompany and John Stones.

My very overall enduring favourite though is the Dunnie Monster. Richard Dunne. Own goals or no own goals my utter favourite.

In our glory years - dinho

 

[bumbleblue]

Colin Bell
David Silva
But Kev for me has to be the one.

 

[cassyscooterboys]

Keith curle,think he would be awesome as the modern day centre half,fast,strong and a bit of a nasty streak.
Modern day Sergio and ferna

As good a reason as any.
Have to add Bert (him especially) on those grounds though.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Anyone not saying Silva, should go back to school.

 

[better dead than red]

Carlos Tevez. When he showed up, he showed up. Worked is arse off on the pitch, tracked back, scored goals and seemed to try and exert his will constantly on the other team. Tough individual that had the good sense to goad Joey Barton enough to get him sent off.

Despite the unpleasantness before he left, I'm of the understanding he is a very nice man.

I would also add Goater to the list for the same reason. Sorry Shaun!

 

[allblackcitizen]

Zaba. A real gent. Was always taken with him on tunnel cam shaking the hand of and exchanging pleasantries with all the staff before a game, rather than just walking past unsmiling with headphones on. And a great player and true warrior.

Many years ago I had a soft spot for Asa Hartford. Can't really remember why. And Big Joe.

 

[Gaz76]

Brian Gayle, quite startling that nobody has mentioned him already

 

[RiversideBlue]

Kinkladze. The joy and expectation of seeing him play. He had weaknesses but is still the most skillful player I've ever seen at city.

 

[malg]

Benarbia. First time in living memory I saw us with a player who was so good. He changed us. A shining light at the time. Seen better players since but at that time he brought a lot of joy.
