    I was considering posting this after witnessing young Harry's 'industrial' but fair tackle that took out two QPR players, oddly scouring my memory for a centre back for this particular team I thought of the mighty John Roberts only to see today he has died at the tragically young age of 69.
    So in honour of him I put forward the following to make up the toughest team ever to have played for City.
    McGregor
    Whitney Davison
    J Roberts J Whittle
    Simmo. Ashbee Brabin McGill
    Chillo Whitehurst

    Maybe not the most skilful or pacy but what opponent would risk their career or life venturing past the half way line up against that lot .

    John Roberts RIP

    I can't believe Jimmy Bullard hasn't made that team.

    Maybe stick that obnoxious little twat Michael Keane on bench?

    I'd put Ken Knighton on the sub's bench...quite tough he was.

    Billy Bly was certainly one of the most fearless goalies ever.

    I was very young when Dennis Burnett played for City but wasn't he fairly hard?

    While we're on about Ashby, has anyone noticed in the big screen pre match when they have that legends clip it says Ian Ashby?

    Bollocks Sir Ben. BBW was indeed a very hard man. CW is a trained professional boxer. FACT!

    He was a trained professional boxer, he's now about as fit as Steve Bruce.

    That'd be his downfall. Billy would steam him all Lenny "Guvnor" like.
