If we had a hall of fame and you could only put one player in, who would it be and why?

Tommy Hutchison for me, 11 is still my favourite number, his skills were imense and he would beat people for fun

Dion Dublin- watching him as a 5-8 year old he was my first ever hero.

Those McAllister front post corners with Dion flicking on & Dublins walk up to the ball style penalty taking will be forever engrained in my mind.

His partnership with Huckerby & Whelan I can say now will never be topped in terms of strike partnership in my lifetime.

 

[skybluelee]

Oggy

601 appearances, all whilst we were a top flight club. Saved us from relegation on numerous occasions. Cup winner. City through and through.

 

[rupert_bear]

Ian Gibson, unbelievable player, if only we could find one like him now.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Obviously Terry Gibson

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

George Hudson

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Big George Curtis.

 

[PVA]

Faysal El Idrissi.

 

[6 Generations]

Colin Stein

 

[blueflint]

ernie hunt.ronnie rees.cant decide which

 

[Hod dog]

I agree with above Dion Dublin, Growing up I loved watching him play, him, Huckerby and Whelan were great!

 

[matesx]

Speedie

loved the little cnut!

 

[oscillatewildly]

No contest - Brian Borrows.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

My Dad would say Ian Gibson or Colin Stein.

I would say Mick Ferguson (like duh!) Speedie (legend) or Ndluvo (under rated, over looked but anyone who scores a hat trick at Anfield in a Cov Shirt deserves a mention)

If Robbie Keane would have stayed even one more year he'd be head and shoulders above any one!


In went in off Ferguson's beard....

 

[turlykerd]

ian wallace for me, he was in the first game i went to away at leeds as a kid , and i then demanded the brown tram line kit and ran around pretending to be him for ages lol

although Houchen comes in a close second

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Micky Gynn, always gave 110 % and very underrated

 

[bringbackrattles]

George Hudson. What a player and scored goals with his feet and head and was as hard as nails.The word legend truly does belong to the Hud.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

For me Micky Gynn

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Tommy Hutchinson or George Hudson . To close to split a hair between them

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

Gary Mabbut's knee

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Ndlovu for me, genius with the ball on pitches that were not the best condition

 

[skyblueheaven]

For so many different reasons Big Mo konjic, legend.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

From my era it's got to be either Oggy (longevity and commitment), Ndlovu (excitement and skill) or Nilsson (reliability and pure class).

 

[Otis]

It's not about who we personally liked though is it? It's about someone warranting the place of the one Sky Blue legend.

To my mind it would have to be George Curtis.

[Gazolba]

Tommy Hutchison for me, 11 is still my favourite number, his skills were imense and he would beat people for fun

Ronnie Rees (42 goals in 230 games) was a much more effective left-winger than Tommy Huchison (24 in 314 games).

My hall of famer would have to be George Curtis. He was a rock that seemed to dominate virtually everyone he came up against. 487 appearances for City during our golden years.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Willo, if only for scoring v Spurs to keep us up for another year or two.

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

Big Cyrille Regis. Powerful front man.

Will always remember him scoring in the 87 quarter finals against Sheffield W.

Loved watching him at our beloved Highfield Road.

[Moff]

Tommy Hutchison.

Legends and perhaps never recieved the acclaim they deserve, Lloyd McGrath, Trevor Peake, and Brian Borrows.

 

[Finchy]

Mine would be Hutch, closely followed by Bobby MacDonald, Ian Wallace and Mick Ferguson.

I just can't pick one over the 45 years my memory goes back, he if I had to pick would come from the very late sixties mid seventies, though I loved our team 1985-88.

sorry

 

[Tonylinc]

An usual choice but for me Barry Powell. The team of that era never performed as well when he was not present. Much the same as today when JOB is not included for whatever reason.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Oh go on then Ernie Hunt, there was expectation every time he got the ball.

 

[phildownunder]

Ronnie Rees (42 goals in 230 games) was a much more effective left-winger than Tommy Huchison (24 in 314 games).

Sorry, can`t agree with that.

Much as I enjoyed Ronnie Rees` role in our rise from 3rd to 1st divisions you can`t judge wingers like those two on goals scored alone.

Ronnie only played about 30 games for us in the 1st division whereas Hutch played all of his there, turning on his magic week in week out against the best defenders in the country and that surely counts for more than simply total goals scored.

I couldn`t resist digging up the description of a "wonder" goal Hutch scored against Arsenal at Highbury.

"Hutch intercepted a pass from Ball on the halfway line and set off on a mazy run. Ball tried to foul him but Hutchison kept his feet. Next man was Pat Rice, who was left floundering by a body swerve. On the edge of the box, Hutchison somehow evaded McLintock`s lunging body check, side stepped the oncoming Barnett and kept his head to shoot into the net from a narrow angle".

Pure magic, and remember this was against the team that finished league runners up that season.

Hutch is definitely my pick.
