Too ageist the OP. Old farts like me can't remember the last 10 years...but vividly recall 50 years ago.
Open it up.
Chris Chilton without a doubt.
If we could pick 4 players, it would be Chilton (hardest working City footballer I've ever seen, and could score goals from anywhere with any part of his body ), Houghton ( smartest creative City player),
Wagstaff ( sharpest I've ever seen in the box) and Ian Butler (wizard on the flank).
I never actually saw Ashbee play live - he was injured every time I returned home to watch City during his tenure, so I would chose Simpkin as an add in for his tenacity and policeman/inspiration role).

We wouldn't need a defence with that lot.

Good shout! Those were heady days for me as a City supporter.

Agreed. Plus Jock Davison to put the fear of God into the opposition.

Jock picked his times. Wouldn't be surprised if he was injured & didn't play in the few games we drew/lost in '65-'66 season.
Bottom line - score more than the opposition. Nearly perfect on that front.
Relatively early in the season I hitched from Leeds to see City's home game against York. They beat us 1-4 !
End of season GDifference:
Hull City +47
York City - 53
Funny old game.
They ended up bottom, we ended up top.
Bet (I can't recall) Jock didn't play that day :emoticon-0105-wink:

What an amazing ten years we have had on the field, our glory years, especially if you say the last 15 years it has been a great time. This thread brings home how many great players we have had. Unfortunately every bit of that good will has been thrown away.
