Apparently they're creating a blue tarmac thingy and naming places after City greats etc near Maine Rd.

I'm thinking of moving to Dickov Drive.

From Wikipedia:

In 1977 the Manchester City Council named eleven streets in a new estate in Moss Side after famous City players including Tilson, Frank Swift, Eric Brook, Sam Cowan, Horace Barnes, Max Woosnam, Tommy Browell, Jimmy McMullan, Sam Cookson, Billy Meredith and Tommy Johnson.

According to something I once read from Gary James it was.

Perhaps he may confirm it if he sees this.

I thought that housing complex that stands where the ground was has all things named after city players.

Me too. Just checked google maps, and the image on there was taken while the houses were being constructed. The streets already built are called Bilsborrow Road, Sunshine Place and Blue Moon Way.
