He was dog shit. One of the worst players I have seen in a city shirt. He made Ryan Haynes look like Maldini. 3 years at the club and made 36 appearances. 1 particular game sticks in the mind away to Man City where he was to blame for all 3 Man City goals.
Seem to remember his lack of appearances was due to a serious bowel condition. Lets not base our arguments off of wiki appearance stats lad.

Yup. Downs one of the worst left backs to win a cup winner's medal and an obvious weakness. Singularly failed to replace him, well... ever really.

Why do we struggle with left backs so much? In my time watching city you'd have Burrows (average really) Warnock (great, but on loan) and Fox as the only stand-out ones. It's hardly a stellar list.

Kenny Sansom in his old age?

Agree though, we've had some real dross at left back.

I can’t remember if his contract was running down, but Pearce definitely left for a fee. The surprising part of the deal was that his price was lower than that of Ian Butterworth who was no where near as good a player. They both left for Forest at the same time.

Oakey was such a whole hearted player. He played like a winger constantly taking on and beating opposition players. I remember one game against Birmingham at Highfield Road where he was simply superb. I liked Thomas too, but for the way he constantly took on and beat players, Oakey every time for me.

The bosman rule didn't exist then so clubs could still command a fee for out of contract player

A fiery Irishman who, during a home game against Birmingham City, kicked the hugely ugly Kenny Burns in the bollocks as the teams walked off at half time. Murphy was sent off for his excellent footwork and we still beat the bluenoses in the process.

He was an appalling player. I never saw him play a decent game for us and used to groan at his selection if he popped up.

John Aloisi and Cedric Roussel. Two of my favourite players. Always gave it their all.

More obscure names:
Ken Keyworth, Ray Pointer, Quintin Young.

Not seen Steve Witton mentioned. Wore the number 7 shirt, seemed very languid in his style, but had a fantastic shot on him, and scored a few great goals in the late 70's/early 80's?

Julian Darby, one of the slowest drips ever to wear the sky blues shirt.

Gary Mcallister - pure class
Jordan Henderson - England captain!
Scott Dan - thought he was the worse if the two we brought from Walsall, went on to prove me wrong
Patrick van arnholt - quality attacking defender
Steve froggat - scored that screamer on the TV in our ‘the entertainers’ season!
