How far back does your memory go?

[Kladze]

Who was the first City player you can remember idolising?

Was discussing this earlier with an old friend of mine. For him it was Roy paul.

Me?

David Wagstaffe, a young winger we had in the mid 60s who was fucking awesome - in my eyes at least.

Needless to say, we were skint and had to sell him to Wolves.

[Chinners]

Dennis Tueart, King of the Geordies ... or Dave Watson

[HeyMark]

Uwe Rosler

[BobbyJ1956]

Bobby Johnstone. My dad once ran into him in Yates's Wine Lodge in Blackpool while I was stood outside with a bag of Smith's crisps (they did that in those days) and he came out to say hello.

[Mike J]

Sold him to Wolves so we could afford some floodlights apparently!

How about Derek Kevan,Colin Barlow,Johnny Crossan but I always thought Alan Oakes was top class.

Colin Bell

Likewise.
I would sulk like fuck if I couldn't wear the number 8 shirt for our Sunday team even into my late thirties.

That fucker hit a 25 yard pile-driver at the goal I was stood behind when I was about 7.
It missed and hit me in the stomach. I'm still feeling winded to this day ........

Colin Bell

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Neil McNab

[beehive's dodgy pint]

For me it was Peter Barnes. I really wanted to play like him on the wing and would practice dropping my shoulders and going past players all the time as a kid. Loved the sight of him dancing down the line, jinking in and out of defenders. If Johnson can get as good as him we would have a player. Bumped into Barnsey a few times now at the stadium......not literally of course, cos I can still drop my shoulder and avoid bumping into people.

[BlueinBosnia]

Paul Walsh or Peter Beagrie- can't remember when Beagrie first started his backflips.

[Chinners]

Beagrie did that back-flip thingy eons before joining us ... good player he was

[Dubciteh]

David White and the Mighty quinn!

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Rosler for me.

[mr_nool]

Quinn

[Goaters 103]

Dennis Tueart, King of the Geordies ... or Dave Watson

This. The exact same two. Until Kompany came along, Watson had remained the best centre half Ive seen for us.
