Hitesh Posted 3 October 2005 Share Posted 3 October 2005 I would have to say Walshy because he is the only real legend I have seen. Overall, it would have to be out of Weller, Lineker, Banks, Shilton, Walshy and maybe Izzet and Elliott. tough decision for those who have seen all of the live!

Head Honcho Posted 3 October 2005 Share Posted 3 October 2005 For me it would be Frank Worthington closely followed by Keith Weller and Lenny Glover. But if i wasn't so nostalgic i'd have to say Steve Claridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lush Posted 3 October 2005 Share Posted 3 October 2005 Lineker, who else has done more in the game, or did the questioner mean who did most for city only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burleyfox Posted 3 October 2005 Share Posted 3 October 2005 Surely Keith Weller - sheer class with loyalty to the team. I've been a City fan since the 50's and haven't seen better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 4 October 2005 Share Posted 4 October 2005 He wasn't City's best player but Irishman Derek Dougan was a decent centre-forward for City and a guy who could always lighten the atmosphere. I remember one especially wet and muddy day he was captain and went to shake hands with his opposite number priot to spinning the coin held his hand out and missed by a metre and went sliding on along towards the edge of the centre circle. Another time he was being tracked by two defenders who forced him wide towards the corner flag. The defenders daren't dive in but were joined by first one, then another reinforcement. With four men round him Dougan had retreated right to the corner flag where he looked up, and realising his hopeless predicament just eased the ball onto the corner spot and walked casually away. The looks on the four defenders faces were to be believed and the crowd just burst out laughing. A real character Derek but he knew his job.

Guest Posted 4 October 2005 Share Posted 4 October 2005 From my own time, it would be Lineker or Walsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenzied Posted 4 October 2005 Share Posted 4 October 2005 Has to be Lineker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 4 October 2005 Share Posted 4 October 2005 Nominated him previously but my all time legend was 1960's star Davie Gibson. Don't forget City reached four Cup finals in the 60's and might have won a League and Cup double but for injuries. They topped the first division and hammered the great Manchester United team with Charlton, Law, Best, Crerand the lot 6-0 one Wednesday night at Filbert Street. Gibson, a full Scottish International at a time when Scotland were half-decent, was so good the club eventually used to engage him to do half-time demonstrations of ball skills within the centre-circle and his tricks were simply magical. Whether the Goal-Smith turns out as good remains to be seen but I would even put Gibbo above such greats as Frank Worthington, Gary Lineker, Gordon Banks, Peter Shilton etc because he orchestrated the best side City have probably ever had. To me he was the epitomy of what football should be about. He made the ball talk. Although very slight of build and only about 5ft 7ins his influence was mammoth even against the finest of opponents. To offer a yardstick on a scale of 0-10 with Gibson being 10, I don't think Williams would merit a point. In fact his arrival reminded me of Goal-Smith's. He had the same effect on people. We all knew we had someone special to watch - and the rest including Arsenal legend Frank McLintock, were pretty exceptional too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him lining up for a corner at the far post drawing several defenders towards him, then at the very last minute running around the back of the goal to receive the corner at the near post. Don't remember it leading to a goal but it was bloody funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 4 October 2005 Share Posted 4 October 2005 No debate needed as Thracian has explained it has to be DAVIE GIBSON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
