Favourite players throughout your City years

[OnlyOneCity]

When I started watching City regularly in 1966, my favourite player was Jackie Sinclair, a wonderful goal scoring winger. When he left, it was Lenny Glover. There were then a few down years, Gary was next, then Gary McAllister til he went. A few more dodgy years, then Scott Taylor, Steve Guppy, Steve Claridge, then my main man for many years, Muzzy. The years after Filbert Street were up and down, literally, without for me, someone who really hooked me in. Onto 2013, Nugent and Vardy gave us a great strike partnership, and since his Premier League debut against Man. Utd. where his personality really through, Jamie Vardy has been my GOAT. 

[The Year Of The Fox]

[Libertine]

Muzzy (after meeting him in Fatty Arbuckles up Meridian circa 1998).

 

Gonna give an honorable mention to Danny Drinkwater too, no matter what a weirdo he is. Pivotal for us for a few years and loved watching him play.

[Double Decker]

Tommy Wright. Just loved watching him from the wall in the family enclosure terrace. Quick, direct, great delivery and goals. What a view from there, 3 yards from the players that hugged the touchline.

[Spudulike]

Simpson

Morgan

Huth

Muzzy
Lloyd
Kasper
Vardy
Mahrez

Ricardo

 

Can't really remember who my favourites were as a kid apart from the first two, I recall liking Les Ferdinand, Steve Guppy, Kasey Keller, Joey Guðjónsson and Matty Fryatt though

[Austin]

Muzzy was my first real hero. I loved watching him when I was a youngster. Think it was my first real heartbreak seeing him leave. After that I'd say probably Vardy.

 

Real genuine club legends the pair of them.

 

Edit:

 

Special shout-out for Lloyd Dyer and Marc Albrighton. Absolutely dons.

[Tommy Fresh]

Dyer, King, Berner and had they played more for us Mark Davies, Tunchev (these two for quite clearly being far better than the level we were at) and Gradel would have ended up in this list. Probably mainly due to them being involved with the set up that actually made it enjoyable to watch us again.

 

More recently, besides the obvious Vardy, Mahrez shouts, Ricardo is up there.

Always gave 110% and could mix it with the best.
