Dennis Wise for me. Had a huge impact on that season. Often wondered what would have happened had we made him manager.

1960's J H & Curtis & Glazier
1970' Hutchinson
1980's Peake
1990's Mcaillister
2000's no one really
2010's and future Pressley
but Hutchinson always top for me as every time he got the ball you could feel the excitement

Completely agree...he was real magic. But there have been so many great players over the years it's no exactly fair to single anyone out...no mench of Willie Carr or Denis Mortimer for instance, unless I've missed it...but great players...

i would say mortimer and carr as top players but the thread says signings, we had mortimer and carr as kids.

I disagree. Club record signing, club record salary. He was good for less than half of the time he spent at the club. Financial disaster.
Mick Quinn for me. I think we'd have been relegated in 92/93 without him.

Strachan, (lets forget the manager bit for a minute...) he was unreal for 39/40 at time or whatever age he was....
Roland Nilsson -class above any defender I have ever seen for the club.
Wise - used to detest this guy when he played against us, but was class for the time he was here.

Although Hadji had occasions of brilliance he was mostly pretty inconsistent on the whole from what I remember. Chippo the same, decent player but don't think we ever got the best out of him.
When he's not fathering more kids or seeing off his brother!

Mo Konjic, why he was in the reserves for so long is beyond belief!

Huckerby, Terry Gibson, Pearce, Peake, Oggy, Sumo - can't choose between any of these. Always liked Gerry Daly, Hunt and Yorath too when growing up. I think the shout for Marsden is a great one too though as he was a class act who we should have signed.
I suppose with Hutch being the best wver City player, then he fits the bill for the thread title.

For me Keane had a big impact in the short period he was here but was a good Coventry team.
Dublin had a massive impact in his time at the club scored a lot of goals.
Wise had a big impact in the side.
Think Clarke has had such a huge impact on the team this year. (hopefully we look back in a few years as getting him being the turning point)
Negative side Bellamy had a big impact in helping us go down.

There are quite a few, the day we signed Yorath, McDonald and Wallace all announced match day, brilliant Tommy Hutch and Colin Stein signed at the same time. Rob Barry, Dion, Hucks, Robbie Keane. Wise has to be up there, I never realised what a great player he till he came to us... Of course Maurice Setter, no doubt he saved us from relegation in the first season in the top flight. You can go back further and signing like Ian Gibson, Neil Martin, Gerry Baker...

Oggy, Speedie, Gallacher and Ndlovu were probably my favourites when I was a nipper.
I think Oggy has to get most inspired signing though as others rightly point out, he left Liverpool who were pretty much dominating Europe at that point and joined us to become a legend. Loyalty likes his deserves no.1 position in things like this. Good work lad,

From what I remember he rarely performed well away from home.
