Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
We've had something like this before. Two players stand out for me,Eddie Newton and Brian Harris from back in the day

Jon Parkin - many different meanings to 'great'.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
Koumas is an obvious one.
His son is on the bench for Liverpool in the final today actually. Will probably be in the next welsh squad.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
Mike England’s a good shout, but have City had another player who was seriously considered as a candidate to be the best player in the world turn out for them besides John Charles? Kevin Ratcliffe would be up there I suppose and Gary Medel has had some career, we also had someone who won more than a hundred caps for the country with the biggest population in the world.

And the reason for a pretty big reserve game attendance as well. Fan Zhiyi.

Be surprised if he's called up for the playoffs, maybe the pre-Euros friendly in June
Although if he comes off the bench today and does something then who knows?

Fan zhiyi. I remember the chant "we've got Chinese internationals!" He got sent off v Palace?
Surprised inamato not mentioned yet.
Goalkeeper wise kasper Schmeichel perhaps only genuine world class keeper we have had. He was even class for us.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
John Charles is unquestionably the greatest player I have seen in a City shirt based on past reputation. When we signed him he was nearing 32, carrying a significant knee injury and was a shadow of his former self.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
We signed former England international Gerry Francis on loan for a while in the mid 80's , seemed a great coup at the time but he was well past his best by then and had little impact for us.

I remember Schmeichel playing for us and I didn't rate him. He made mistakes. We were better defensively that season when Enckelman came in, but he'll always be remembered for the cock up in the cup final.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
John Charles has always been rated one of if not the greatest ever British player so for those of us lucky enough to see him pull on a blue jersey, it. has to be him.
As a side issue he officially opened our school sport's hall in the late 1960's. He looked so impressive.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
I’ve always maintained Aaron Ramsey is a better footballer than Gareth Bale and he was a superstar so it’s gotta be Rambo for me but I never saw the likes of Tosh and Charles.
Jay Bothroyd was a special talent also but didn’t have the attitude to match.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
One of the most skilful players I’ve seen in a City shirt, was Dave Bennett

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
Who is the most decorated (ex-)City player? Is it Aaron Ramsey ?
Anyway, I'm too young to have seen John Charles, but for me it's either Hasselbaink or Medel.

Ross Turnbull has a champions league winners medal. Not sure if there are any others.

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
John Charles
Ivor Allchurch
Derek Tapscott
Trevor Ford (though that was in a 6-a-side competition at Ninian Park years after he retired)
Neville Southall (wore a City shirt when playing against Norway(???) at Ninian Park)

Saw Alan Evans playing darts in a city shirt...does that count?

Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt
Brian Clark.
Never saw him in a City shirt, but I did see him in an England shirt for a testimonial game.
Also saw him in Coryton Crescent once and believe he was wearing a shirt.
