I have seen a few since 1968. Brian Harris is up there with the best for me. I also liked Brian Mcdermott the former Reading manager. But for me it has to be Eddie Newton. Pure class.

Eddie Newton?Originally Posted by alfie
There have been loads of better players since his days here.
He stood out in a poor team in the lowest division in the football league.
Nowhere near the likes of Whittingham
Ramsey,Ledley,Gabbidon,Bothroyd,Bennett brothers,Earsham,Kavanagh and many many more.
He also played in the premier with Chelsea
Koumas in his first spell here. Unplayable at times for the opposition.
Brian McDermott??
Good Div 4 signing but he wasnt even the best player in that side.
Ramsey Koumas Whitts Bothroyd Marshall D Bennett.
Dont think he played in the same side as those players
John Charles, End of thread
We are not as old as you Tony.
The OP didn't ask who was the best we had seen, he asked who was the best! John Charles stand head and shoulders above all the others,
Name me another city player that a foreign club has erected a statue of to remind young supporters of his greatness and in gratitude for his ability and his loyalty.

Yes, if best means who is the greatest footballer to have worn a City shirt.
Isn't that what the thread title says? It doesn't say the player who played best for city.
So amongst all the other names could have been Fowler for example!
Agreed.
And in the last 50 years - Robin Friday.
Video TRIBUTE >> "THE GREATEST FOOTBALLER YOU NEVER SAW"
Think this might be the cue for an appearance by Enoch Mort, who is of the same opinion as me in thinking Friday was more of a hindrance than a help when he was with us.
When they were playing for us, or played for us at some point in their career?
Hasselbaink, Fowler, Ramsey, Schmeichel possibly in the second category.
Bothroyd, Marshall, Whittingham whilst playing for us.

I guess it’s how people perceive the word ‘great’, but the one who was great at making me smile with his antics was Phil Stant.
And?
They weren't the Chelsea they are today.
Ramsey played far more Premier league games
Scored winning fa Cup goals.
Was in the euro team of the tournament.
Think that beats playing for Chelsea
Willie anderson for me Alfie.
Spedger
Think he's giving his best players and not saying they played in that team.
Was Will Vaulks your third choice?

Koumas for me, just about edges it in terms of pure performance I've seen in a city shirt.
When I consider how his lifestyle must have impacted on his performance, I think he is also probably the player I've seen here with the most potential. He could have played at any level he wanted to ! Had a good career , but with a bit of dedication I think he could have been one of the best in the Premier league
You should change the heading to "best player you've seen" because there is no doubt that John Charles was a global superstar and therefore had to be the best footballer to have played for the City.
Agree, best I've ever seen
