Ah Peter Billing. The story goes that City scouts went to see a youngster playing for Crewe one night. The youngster, a midfielder had a poor game and we signed centre back Billing instead.Ray Woods

Not forgotten though. The top 3 are my 3 favourites of all time. God we need a Yorath right now. Setters kept us up almost single-handedly. Gibbo was "king of Coventry"Just been thinking about past players for City (as you do), and came up with some names that I don't believe have rarely been mentioned much on these threads, but some great players nonetheless. Those that spring to mind are (in no particular order of any merit):
Terry Yorath
Maurice Setters
Ian GibsonGary Breen
Stephen Warnock (loanee from Liverpool. Wished we could have kept him!)Mark Hateley
Jimmy Holmes
Les Sealey
Gary BannisterThese are just a handful of names that rarely get a mention. I know there must be many more. Obviously from my selection you will see I choose from way back, but I'm sure some of our younger posters will have choices of their own.
