Good call.. he was a very polished player, great first touch and wonderful awareness. Where did we get him from, was he on loan from Spurs or something?
It's already getting done to death in this thread, but.. Jason Koumas. His first game at Ninian Park, during his first stint. The opposition couldn't get the ball off him, in fact, they ended up standing off him rather than risk trying to look foolish getting the ball from him.
Another one I should have mentioned is Steve McPhail, one of the bravest players I've ever seen at City.
Ian Gibson, Johnny Vincent etc but for one game alone, nothing to touch him.......Greg Farrell, a lot of years ago now but some of those Middlesbrough players had their shirts on inside out, what a performance that night.
Absolutely, I’ve never seen as good a performance by anyone in a City shirt since. He was absolutely untouchable that night. I think Ian Gibson was playing for Middlesbrough that night in 1966.
Tony Villars was a very good dribbler with the ball and I suppose the 70s equivalent of the Farrell match was when he scored a brilliant equaliser against Palace to send then down and keep us up in 1974.
Greg Farrell
Barrie Jones
Ivor Allchirch
I’m surprised Alan Curtis hasn’t had more mentions, thought he’d be a shoe in for the list?
Agreed. The sunning goal he scored in the 1988 Welsh cup final versus Wrexham is one of the best goals I have seen live.
Any excuse.

Curtis was brilliant.
Still the best goal I have ever seen in person. WTF was he doing in the 4th Division?
that trapped lay off to Bellamy for the killer goal down at the liberty by rambo was world class
Stopped the ball and put it on a plate to be hit
Ramsey was an incredible talent and it was a disgrace dave Jones didnt give him his day in the sun at Wembley
We would have beaten pompey
Curtis at his best was a near World Class player.
Fantastic player, he could throw his hips and drop a shoulder and some of the crowd would move. I always feel he is criminally underrated when people compare Welsh greats.
Quincy. Had a few skills. Shame he was in the list of worst ever players
We agree on something!
Gibson and Vincent were both good players,especially Gibson.
That Farrell performance is the stuff of legend.
I'd only been following football for a few years and I had never seen a performance like it.
It's 50 odd years ago now and I don't think I have really seen many, if any, like it since.
Think it was a saturday afternoon though wasn't it?
Amazing performance. Could never understand who he didnt repeat it, even occasionally.
Apologies I have just checked back and 3rd May 1966 was indeed a Tuesday night.
Unusual for City because I seem to recall that Scoular preferred to play on Wednesdays.
Billy Ronson, Barrie Jones, Ian Gibson. But Whitts outshines them all.
Craig Noone's performance away to Man City was one of the most skillful performances I've seen someone have in a City shirt. Shame he was so inconsistent as he was clearly talented.
