Just came across this:
He hasnt quite made it to the Wonderful Wizard yet.One of my favourite players in recent years. How's he getting on in Oz?
There were quite a few on here or the old 606 site too can't remember which, very unjustified- he was the sort of player who was clever enough to win you games by himself, the sort of player Lumberstone ought to be but thankfully Diame actually isHe used to get criticism in the stands. Could never understand it. He's right up there with the very best that have pulled on a Black and Amber shirt. Some belting goals too.

Never a truer word has been said on this forum.
The stick he got was a ****ing disgrace, especially when the likes of Quinn get lauded as decent larkers.
Not fit to lace Korens boots.
Spot on, sheer class, most of those goals from outside the box, when will we ever see the like again?A class act, a humble man and a great striker of a football.. one of the best I've seen at City (1985-)
He was obviously good for us, but remember we chose to release him and keep the likes of Quinn and Meyler. There was a good reason for that and most people agreed with it at the time.
He could be incredibly wasteful and frustrating for long periods but naturally, and rightly, we remember him for all the wondergoals. That's what football is about. He also did a good job as a makeshift striker later on in his time here, unlike most of the other midfielders Bruce has tried up there.
One of my favourite City players. Those last minute winners against Leicester & Watford were great.
Terrific technique, passing range, great eye for goal & he always popped up with his fair share because we weren't blessed with any decent strikers at the time.
Huddlestone & Diame have the ability to do similar and hopefully they come good. More hoping for the best for Huddlestone, but we'll wait and see.
I still dunno how McShane is considered a City hero and Koren isn't.
