absoltue legend. wish he could played for rangers. rip kev x
:kev:
Thanks for the memories Silver Fox. :ayatollah:
Hero.
Along with Whitts he is my favourite player from the last 15 years of watching Cardiff. He seemed to epitomise the side we were at the time - full of heart and not quite top drawer but good enough to pull off a number of surprises.
My lasting impression of SuperKev will be the way he always got back to cut out the danger even when he seemed to have no chance, along with an ability to continue playing after the heaviest of knocks.
It's very fitting that it's his smiley and passion that encapsulates us finally making the Premiership :-)
Thank you for the wonderful memories Kev - your abilities and heart are sorely missed by this fan :kev:
The club should name a stretcher after him!
Fantastic competitor, and brave as they come.
He never left anything out on the pitch - apart from his blood.
Thanks for all the memories Kev, and good luck with whatever you choose to do next.
He was a player who seemed to get better after suffering a heavy challenge. That and the 3 weeks a season he turned into a dominant Cb/Cm will be remembered.
Always gave 100% top player top man.:ayatollah:

Good luck Kev
A great player for us and a true gent, I hope he gets involved in coaching and ends up back here working at the club he served so wellQuote:

If Warnock could find 3 or 4 players with the same commitment as Kev we would walk the league.

I can't recall ever leaving a City game and thinking to myself that McNaughton had a poor game, or even a below average game - he always seemed to play well. He was like a rubber ball too, he would get clattered, get up gingerly, run it off and throw himself into the next tackle.

If Kevs crossing was as good as the rest of his game he'd have had 10 years in the Premier League with somebody else.Quote:

But a great servant
Who has been a better right back since? You could argue Richards but hasn't played more than half a season yet.Quote:

Connolly
Peltier
Richards
Perhaps Fabio as he played there a few times.
McNaughton in his prime for me over all of those. I'd only take Richards.

Connolly and Peltier don't have Kev's pace or acceleration. I think Kev's end product, while not good, has been the victim of fan-talk exaggeration - we haven't had more threatening attacking full-backs (as in a combination of them rather than individual talent) than super-kev and 'pm dudders' Gilbert from Dj's time onwards.Quote:

super Kev our silver fox
a bluebirds legend in my books
all the best for the future mate
I've seen it said quite often that when, from nowhere really, we made that great start to the 2006/07 season, it was Ricky Scimeca who best exemplified the spirit and intensity we played at that, for a short while, no other Championship side could live with, but, for me, it was new signing Super Kev who caught my eye with some amazing performances at left back.
The months and years that followed brought realisation that he was not as good as those first ten or so displays in a City shirt suggested, but he was still one of our best signings since we returned to this division in 2003.
I agree with the suggestion that, while he was not brilliant going forward, he was not as bad as many City fans make him out to be now.
Most of all though, off the tap of my head, I cannot think of another City player this millennium who exemplified the connection that should be there between player and fan at the club they represent than Kevin McNaughton. It's strange, but, being from Dundee, there cannot be many domestic players who sprang from further away than Cardiff than him this century, yet he was the City fan out on the pitch more than anyone else.
And the other City legend to hail from Dundee was .......................?Quote:

My mistake. The guy played for Dundee (twice) but was born in Glasgow.Quote:
