One of City's greats, no doubt.
But I just came across a new fact (to me anyway) - he was a part of the Cardiff side that were FA Cup runners-up in 2008, Championship play-off final runners-up in 2010 and League Cup runners-up in 2012.
I was there for each of those games - were you?
And did any other players make all 3 games alongside McPhail?
Haven't checked but Whittingham and McNaughton were regular picks throughout that period and would definitely have played barring injury.
McNaughton and Whittingham played in all three games. McPhail didn’t play in the League Cup final.
I was there. Unlike Mcphail.🤣
Was it around that time that he first started getting symptoms of Sjogrens Syndrome, so was out for most of the 11/12 season?
all 3 were signed in the same transfer window for a total of £500kQuote:

Weren't McNaughton and McPhail both free transfers?Quote:

Whitts joined for 350k, or 2 payments of £175k. Ridsdale confirmed that and said O’Neill was a nightmare as he kept changing his mind. He took the 7 shirt we’d kept in case we found 2m down the back of the sofa to get Koumas back.Quote:
