Jesus look at the defending, the keeper, the midfield and even the attackers attempt to stop him :hehe:Quote:

Best right back that I've seen probably is McNaughton, for the consistency and a good player for the club. My wife who has never watched city play also just shouted McNaughton.
A mention for Drameh, probably the best technically and I'm surprised he hasn't quite progressed as I thought he would have since. Only here for a minute though so doesn't count.

Peter Rodrigues for me
Superkev
Super Kev McNaughton
though Mark was decent that season, he stayed at Villa for years after retirement to coach the kids
Yeah, Delaney for me too.
The Forrest Gump goal - one of City's best during the dungeon days.
Loved that kit too.
4,220 of us were at Ninian to witness that. Plenty of grim days during that period, but we had some good ones too.
Bellamy was asked to name a player who Cardiff fans love but was basically rubbish and overrated, he said Kev was terrible, but did well after giving 100% all the time, but ability wise was one of the most limited players.Quote:

But the best is probably Bruno Manga (with Matt Connolly when he played on the right close behind).
Dave Carver, great servant to/for the club
Me tooQuote:

Delaney, Simon Davies and Craig Bellamy we’re a brilliant right side for Wales in that great win over Italy in 2002.
1: Peter Rodrigues
2: Mark Delaney
3: Kevin McNaughton

McNaughton is certainly very popular, but he wouldn't be near the best in my opinion.
far too limited with the ball at his feet.
Theophile Catherine has played most of his career at a high level, including Europa League and champions League gamesQuote:

I was one of "the few" there that day, along with my teenage daughters, who arranged for a birthday greetings announcement for me. They included my age :angry:. Delaney would certainly be up there with the best, but Rod Thomas might push him close.Quote:
