Worst City players you remember

[Stephen230]

Plus Kevin Ellegaard and Ronnie Healey (the latter is one for the oldies)

Was never going to be good enough for City at the time Healey but they loved him in Cardiff and he had a good career. Even got a couple of international caps.

Was still playing Sunday League in Wythenshawe well into his 40s. Good bloke.

Just look at team when Frank Clark was manager and you could pick a few.

Ahhh, John foster was my guy

Was not even anywhere near the best player at our school.
I was astounded and I mean astounded when I learnt he had got himself a professional contract with us.
I could not believe it. I tell you now it would have surprised me if someone back then told me had got himself a contract with a non league club.

What about Margetson,Suckling and Seaman.

Immel let more goals in and was like a statue. Worst City GK I ever saw.

I remember it well and also remember Lee Bradbury's first touch where the ball cannoned about six yards off his shin. Mind you I thought Mangala looked good in his first match!

Controversial opinion - I thought Bradbury had turned a bit of a corner just before we sold him and was a little disappointed to see him go!

I thought Bony was half-decent early on at City but he caught malaria in Africa and lost all his strength and pace.
We'll never know if he could ever be as prolific as he was with Swansea but the illness must have played some part in his decline.

It's almost as though our worst players would be in the team that finished in our lowest ever league positions. - And you can add a few from Royle's first relegation season as well.

More like a hairpin bend!

Yeah. Wasn't their fault, these players were were only playing to their ability levels (mostly). But Beesley and Wassall playing at the back from us stands out for me as the moment it really dawned just how far we'd slipped and that we weren't coming back anytime soon.
