Or Bobby Davison.

Scandalous.

Or Frank Large.

Or Frank Large.

I'd walk a million miles for one of his smiles.

My top five City strikers since I started watching.

1. Vardy
2. Heskey
3. Lineker
4. Newell
5. Smith

Growing up after Lineker and Smith went it always a dream we’d get a striker who would stay with us, score 100 goals and become a legend. Heskey was never going to stay once he became hot property.

It would be hard to think anyone would displace Gary as I grew up with him playing for City, shared a birthday with him, he was the man. But Vardy did it.

No one else has really come close to Vards, Gary and Smudger.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Nugent was a tidy player.

 

[alex]

Yeah I think I'd go with this.

Although Daka would sneak in at No.6

Super sub.

He’s got no hair but we don’t care…

 

[glyn]

Cottee did brilliantly for us, late in career at PL level.

Ferdinand clearly a class act too, but wouldn’t be in my all time list.

 

[OzzieFox]

He's got that 'Iheanacho-ness' about him that he just can't seem to shake.

I don't really see that at all. In fact the opposite, and those are the qualities I like about Daka. To me, Nacho always came across as someone who felt he was too good for Leicester, being a Man City reject. He must have been hard to coach. Daka shows a natural talent, willingness and naivity (sometimes too much, he will run and chase everything) I am sure that attitude can be used and molded into a very decent striker. He's such a confidence player. Wasn't it brilliant to see all the team so happy for him when he scored that goal. It was that, that gave me real hope.

1. Vardy
2. Heskey
3. Lineker
4. Newell
5. Smith

I know he wasn't here long enough to make the list, but I loved Stan Collemore and how he played for O'Neil. He was a real class player.

 

[Dorset Fox]

Ulloa, Claridge and Marshall, all better than average.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Ulloa, Claridge and Marshall, all better than average.

Marshall was not better than average. He was very average indeed.

 

[Dorset Fox]

Maybe it’s my age. But he’s been involved in moments that are better than average.

 

[Orifice]

We have had a few 'average' strikers that (thanks to people like MON) we have made appear very better than average.
Conversely, we've had some great players that we've made to look like donkeys.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

I think Heskey was better than average but I know there'd be a lot of debate around that one.

Emile was OK. Never really fulfilled his potential for me. Not on the same level as the others I mentioned. But I acknowledge that it's a case of either/or with him & someone else would have him well above average.

 

[Miles Away]

Iwan and his Derby hat trick.

Kitson was good, too.
