Gerard?

Gerard?

In fact just seen the answer.... would have never guessed it.....

Has played 386 matches in the Prem. No outfield player from outside the UK has played more games. Congratulations to him. He was a great player for us and if he'd have stayed I have a sneaky feeling he'd still be first choice.

Distin left us for the mighty Portsmouth because, in his own words, City 'lacked ambition'.

I bet he felt a right fool later, but as far as I'm concerned he can fuck right off.

He won an FA Cup, so it was justified.

[dazby]

No. Not a geordie nor a spud.

He's hardly even a footballer!

This is the best clue of all.

Really? At the time we had a shite squad, he left and won the FA CUP the next season therefore justifying his decision. At the time Pompey were a better side than us. How was he to forsee the takeover?

Hence his words, 'I bet he felt a right fool LATER'.

Distin was still in his 20s at the time, and City's mid-term prospects were always better than Portsmouth's.

Emile Heskey?

[Pretty Boy Lee]

A classy centre half that I always e joyed watching. Very underrated and I feel wasted potential as he really was top notch on his day.

Scott Parker? Mark Noble?

Emile Heskey?

YES!!!!! Finally. Well done sir.

[I Just Blue Myself]

Lee_Kinda's clue gave it away. Upon reading it, a picture of Emile Heskey was the first thing that flashed through my mind. I think it's a universal mechanism.
