favourite player

[slyfox]

as a young boy my favourite player was gary lineker,then alan smith,mcallister was next.

then in the 90's gary mills,joachim,steve walsh,mark draper,emile heskey,then finally coming to the last named muzzy izzet.

since muzzy's gone i have not had a favourite player which comes down to the lack of quality we have had in the last 5 years.

also, i am struggling to find 1 player in recent years who has played with his heart on his sleeve.


this club has never really had big money to spend, but we always had a player we could relate to,how times have changed!

No competition,for people of a certain age has to be Keith Weller.Elder people may have different ideas but ive been going to the city since 1969 and without rose tinted glasses hes by far and away the best player weve had here in my humble opinion.

Junior Lewis

 

[Innocent]

Gerry Taggart, Muzzy, Neil Lennon, Robbie Savage, Matty Elliot.

O'Neill's boyz.

 

[Brauny Blue]

Hard to say an ultimate favourite, but a few would be.........

Mark Wallington, who was an ever present when i first followed city.
Gary Lineker, because i loved going to away games where you knew that the home supporters feared him.
Stevie Walsh for giving 100% & wearing the shirt with pride.
Stevie Claridge for giving us 2 fantastic moments that will live long in the memory.

Many others of course.

A fine way to speak of the dead.
:icon_sad:

 

[dpjfox]

David Nish was my first hero
Walshie and Elliott from the good times
Non since(at first for fear of being sold but realistically its lack of quality

 

[The Armchair]

Bobby Kellard

 

[Blue Maniac]

Junior Lewis

I was about to say that. Instead I'll opt for Josh Low.

Yes Weller has to be the greatest. Loved Graham Cross and Gordon Banks too, they always had time for snotty little kids who wanted autographs. Later got to be Walsh and Elliott, although idolised all the O'Neil boys

 

[lazzer]

Worthington/ Weller close call for me.

:icon_conf

Gordon Banks once clipped me round the ear when I asked him for an autograph. I can't remember the state of my nasal secretions at the time, but I was certainly what would be described as a kid.
