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

    I don't know how true it is but some people say Jon Hallworth has never been able to fully stand up straight again. What a throw, nice from Delaney too.

    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.

    Shirley Morgan used to shout, “run Forest, run”

    Peter Rodrigues for me

    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.

    Kev McNaughton is my favourite followed by Lee Peltier.

    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

    Who, besides Delaney, out of those named became a regular choice at top flight level? Peter Rodrigues for a few years and Bruno Manga for a season (I always think of him as more of a centreback though).

    Delaney, Simon Davies and Craig Bellamy we’re a brilliant right side for Wales in that great win over Italy in 2002.

    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 games

    Dave 'Chesty' Carver took some getting around. A fine right-back and who could forget his last minute bundled-in goal against Leicester City at the Grange End?

    Alf Sherwood, both Stanley Mathews and Tom Finney hated to play against him

    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 . Delaney would certainly be up there with the best, but Rod Thomas might push him close.

    Sherwood’s record suggests he’s City’s best post war full back, but he was a few years before my time.

    Alf Sherwood was a left back, and can’t remember him ever playing right back. He was a brilliant player and probably the best left back I have seen playing for the City.

    You have to go by your immediate reaction & mine was Mark Delaney (then I opened your link)
