Its Speedie's birthday today aged 61. What a player he was and one of my all time favourites. Speedo speedo ! Never a dull moment when he was on the pitch, a firebrand but what a footballer.
Did he end up in goal for us once? Or am i going senile?
No you're okay as he did go in goal once.Did he end up in goal for us once? Or am i going senile?
Thanks for this great memories,what about all his headers and chipped goals. Little genius.One of my favourite ever City players and criminally overlooked for most of our best eleven.
His best goals for us here-judge for yourself and wallow in the nostalgia!

Benno's brother. Wonder if it carried on in the tunnel later ? Speedie was always up for a scrap. Bloody Sunderland again !You obviously can’t mention Speedie without rewatching this classic:

The skill by Smith to leave the defender dead and cross to speedie in that 3rd goal I think was marvelousOne of my favourite ever City players and criminally overlooked for most of our best eleven.

Looked like speedie owed basically everything to him lolWe’ve had several David Smith debates on here over the years.
Always looks amazing on highlights and as good a home grown player as we’ve every had.
154 top flight appearances and 19 goals (god knows how many assists).
6 years at City during a time where wingers were never protected and they got battered every game.

As it goes watching that, I've never really heard much about David Smith as I was very very young , looked a very good player, skillful and a handful .. Was he
I was actually going to games back then around 89/90 I just can't remember
Robin's is asking his players to show more fight etc, one thing that could never be aimed at Speedie.Just look at his goals, right foot, left foot-header, volley, chip!
Just a very intelligent footballer who had the knack and the nous to be in the right place at the right time.
Never backed down, got into some scraps and always played for the shirt.
You’d love a player like him in today’s team
