One for the older geezers like me, Brian Lewis. A bit thin, slow but occasionally useful.

Robert Jarni. It's uncanny, but over the years I've also sat in the stands watching a game and occasionally rose to my feet to wave. Wearing sunglasses.

Kevin Macdonald - Miles off the pace, not fit but could pick a pass with either foot.

Froggatt - capable of playing anywhere down the left, had a decent cross, career cut short due to injury

Under estimated player , one of the best first touches of any player I've seen in a city shirt , his thinking was always two or three steps ahead of everyone else , good player made to look average by the others around him.

I was always two or three steps ahead of everyone else. Unfortunately 90% of the time I was offside

Steve Hunt, but with about 1% of the ability - although those that know me tell me I was great (when it is my round)

David Thompson, had a hammer of a shot, even from an early age, at least once a game I'd have a hit from 30 yards. Scored 36 in one season, even got a double hattrick in one game, think the team we played had never saw a ball before tbf, they were atrocious, I'm sure we won that like 23-0 and the ref stopped it a good 20 minutes early too. I was on penalty and freekick duty so that accounts for my unusually high scoring season.

Only because I did a tall CCFC XI thread a few days ago. I thought he was about 6'2'' (maybe he grew a bit more after leaving as he was still young)

I was the same as you, thought he was about 6’1/6’2. I know this is going to sound stupid but never really looked big so was surprised when found out he was 6’5

Hey in our team I remember it being more akin to Greg Downs! You could probably compare me to Lee Burge though you be fair.
I guess now more akin to Mike Dean although there’s no affiliation to the Sky Blues there.

I have been meaning to add the GD comparison for a while (positionally, or lack of and 'ability') - Christ! I even followed his hirsute challenges.
For the record, I would never compare you to Burge. If I may, David James? Or a little further back - Gary Sprake?

I’ll take David James, in comparison we never really both lived up to the billing.....

Julian Darby - I hung around in the middle and achieved nothing. I made up for my lack of talent by shouting and moaning at everyone else so nobody would notice I was useless. I did get stuck in more than him though and managed a couple of player of the season awards which remains a mystery to me.

Maybe they felt sorry for you? A feeling I also had when I was player of the season despite picking the ball out of the net 5 or 6 times every game!:emoji_blush:
