After looking at the thread about our worst players I started thinking about my favourites. Not necessarily the best players to don the black and amber but the ones you had a real soft spot for. Linton Brown Neil Mann Rob Dewhurst all spring to mind for me.....
Didn't we have this thread a few days ago? (Fair enough, you only just joined so it was probably up before then) Stuart Elliott is the ultimate for me. Nick Barmby Justin Whittle Jay Jay Okocha Ian Ashbee Dean Windass Paul McShane There's loads more.
Basically my list but I have a feeling Curtis Davies and Tom Huddlestone are being added to a lot of people's lists
Yeah I struggle to name one player for this: Steve Wilson Alan Fettis Richard Peacock Bob Dewhirst Neil Mann Jimmy Graham Justin Whittle Whitmore and Goodison Stuart Elliott Nick Barmby Ian Ashbee Dean Windass Andy Dawson Boaz Myhill I could go on
Ian Butler was a delight to watch as he extricated himself away from the touchline with two defenders in close attention. Dougie Clark also as he charged down the right wing like a Panzer tank in turbo mode.
Here was that other thread: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/251561-Who-is-your-favourite-City-player I will stand by this^ until the day I die. Macca might be 'God', but this man is my personal fave.
For the old timers...in the post-war years and 50's... Raich Carter Billy Bly Jock Davidson Viggo Jensen Harold Means Sid Gerrie Bill Bradbury Brian Bulless Alf Ackerman Doug Clarke Don Revie Chris Chilton Neil Franklin
Jobson Roberts Windass Whittle Whitmore Brabin Elliott Mann Dawson Rosenior McShane Ashbee Court and theres no reason Davies wont make that list
Edwards Roberts Gareth Big Billy Jobbo De Mange (for his comedy value) Mutrie Barmby Ashbee I might have to return later with a few more as I remember them
Tony Norman Stan McEwan Gary Parker Les Mutrie Brian Marwood Dean Windass Ian Ashbee Jay Jay Steve McLaren The list could go on....
Ian Ashbee by a country mile, then Elliot, Jason price, macca, Dawson, Myhill and Rosenior (I know he's not been with us too long but I've never seen us have a better right back).
Paul Haigh Brian Marwood Billy Whitehurst Les Mutrie (always shouted his name when I had a shot at 5 a sides at work) Gareth Roberts Justin Whittle Ben Burgess Ian Ashbee Jozy Altidore There's loads, the list could be massive.
