A couple of mine already mentioned - 4-1 at Villa, 2-0 at Wimbledon (we took nearer 10,000 - had the whole stand on the side of the pitch, completely taking over the half allocated for their supporters), 2-1 Spurs to stay up. Other's not mentioned are 3-1 at Spurs the season before the 2-1 game...

Yes - great player

Andreas Lund - Wikipedia Looks like he would have been listed here if we had signed him!!

Players whose careers at City prematurely ended because of injury. To start I give you Lee Hurst, Graham Oakey and Liam Daish.

I thought Daish was a pretty good defender, certainly better than Shaw and Williams.

Yes he was disappointing, but I thought at the time we were premature to get rid of him so quickly. He was a young lad, getting used to being away from Scotland and who was going to get better with experience. His subsequent career in Scotland was a very good one too. We also made a profit on...

I didn't think Jones was that bad a player on the rare occasions he played, but unfortunately he was injury prone, and yes we certainly didn't get our money's worth from him. Around this same time we had tried to sign Kevin Beattie who was a great player but also injury prone, so we pulled out...

I think you're on the wind up on this. The Labour run council in Coventry is not 'Socialist'. They are mostly from the Blairite side of the party, and are kind of 'Tory Lite'. That's why Dave Nellist was elected against them as a 'Socialist' Councillor for a number of years. Would have been...

Players I remember our crowd getting onto include 'The Guvnor' Paul Ince, Kenny Miller and Alan Shearer. Some of the worse grief though was to ex players with Dublin, Boateng & Sealey particularly getting it in the neck.

From old film I've seen of Rees, he looked very left footed - of that era was Ian Gibson decent with both feet? Tommy Hutch & Ndlovu are the only players I can think of that I've seen who were equally comfortable with either foot. Liam Walsh is a pretty good shout amongst our modern players...

Bowman joined about the same time as Jim McInally who also turned out to be a disappointing signing. They both left for Dundee United where they had long & successful careers coinciding with the club's best period in their history, including success in Europe.

Sorry to be pedantic but only think he had a beard at Villa. Sure he always a clean shaved youth when playing for us :)

No one mentioned Micky Quinn yet? Larry Lloyd was on the hefty side too.

He's right though. Hutch moved to the right after we signed Steve Hunt. Pretty sure when I first went watch City Dennis Mortimer wore the number 7 shirt. John Beck and Les Cartwright were other number 7's in those days of 1-11 shirts.

He's included in the sense that he was an exciting signing that ended up in huge disappointment. Jarni was a helluva player, I can't remember if that was the same period we brought in Nilsson, but no team in the Prem would have had a better full back combination than Nilsson & Jarni. Of course...

'Matthew' Pennington, ''Mark' Marshall, 'Luke' Steele & 'John' Williams.

Isa is the Arabic name for Jesus :)

A team of players that looked good when we signed them, but the reality proved different! Bryan King Regis Genoux Gary Collier Colin Hendry Robert Jarni Nii Lamptey Dave Bowman Jose Perdomo Keith O'Neill Kevin Drinkell Alan Brazil

I'm sure Celtic had a player called Scheidt.

So England v Scotland for Sky Blues players - who wins & why? England Ogrizovic Borrows/ Thomas Atherton Peake...
