Not his fault and I know he's a true blue but I remember a game Richard edghill played where absolutely everything went wrong for him. He left the field at half time in tears.
The Kippax roasted him that day.
He had a valid reason. His confidence was very fragile and he was a fairly limited footballer. That's perfectly forgivable, in my view.
I used to think, "If we don't win today, I hope he at least has a good game". I cannot remember another footballer I used to genuinely feel sorry for.v
@2sheikhs Was it Coventry at home? He had a few stinkers towards the end of his City career, bless him, but for some reason Coventry at home seems to stick in my mind.
Yes, I'm almost positive it was Coventry at home. Just looked it up. August 26th 2000: City 1-2 Coventry. Edghill scored an own goal and Bellamy (who, as right back, Edghill was probably meant to be marking) got their second on the stroke of half time. Edghill left the pitch in tears at half time, and I don't think he returned for the second half.
I didn't boo him, I just felt sorry for him. A true blue trying his best.
Incidentally, Horlock got one back for us with 12 minutes, but an equaliser never materialised.
The good old days!
You ever see Perry Suckling play, or Kevin Stuhr-Ellegaard?
Yes I did and Margetson was worse.

I don't think a single City fan had the balls to watch him take it, though!Let's never forget that Edgie had the balls to take a pen at Wembley.

It was Coventry at home and poor Edghill had one of those days when nothing went right and he was absolutely roasted by a young on fire Bellamy. He was on the whole a quite steady performer for us in his time here but the crowd slaughtered him that day I am ashamed to say.

There was a young lad Royle brought on in a match at Maine Road. Not 100% sure but the name Ray Kelly rings a bell
He lasted 20 mins before being hauled off he was so bad and was never seen again
Was it Rae Ingram you're thinking of?
Can't remember if it happened to him, but around that time Lee Crooks definitely came on as sub and got brought off again. Me and my mates refer to it as being "Crooks'ed"

Brilliant!

Trying to think of sendings off which lost us a game we could have won:
Balotelli v Dynamo Kiev. Europa League Q/F . Sent off for a high challenge on the touchline
Balotelli @ Liverpool, Balotelli @ Arsenal...
