McPhail😀😀😀. That wouldn’t be the same player who couldn’t hit a barn door from three yards, gave away outrageous free kicks which were always, always punished, and got himself sent off in so many games which then became game changing???????

You wouldnt know a good player if one walked behind you and slapped you on the back of the neck. Macphail was a playmaker, not a goal scorer but scored 12 goals in total in his first team career of 427 games over 20 years. He played in the Premier League for Leeds and was instrumental in Barnsley getting to the Premier League as well. He played 190 games for City over 6 years. During his time here he also suffered a serious illness (lymphoma) and missed large parts of two seasons as a result. He was one of the main players for us in our efforts to get in the Premier League, which were ultimately successful. He is also a Republic of Ireland full international. You dont get to achieve what he did without being a good player.

Stats probably don't exist any more but I reckon that partnership of Chopra's movement and McPhail's vision was arguably the best in the division.

Racist old Cedric didn't rate McPhail because he was Irish. Who can forget his praise of all things Northern Ireland, the daft bastard?
