Thracian Posted 29 October 2006 Share Posted 29 October 2006 Hi im new to all this but thought i would post my all time city 11 bet you have all done this one before now ?? ah well here goes : Wallington whitworth Rofe Walsh Elliot Weller Lennon Izzet Glover lineker Worthington All time best? Was Wallington was better than Shilton or Banks, Walsh was better than Ian King, Tony Knapp or John Sjoberg and are you leaving David Gibson out altogether? That's like leaving George Best out of United's all time greats. On a scale of one to 10 with Gibbo given l0 I doubt any other City attacking midfielder would have rated more than 6/7 by comparison. Gibbo could do things with a football most professionals only dream of. He could receive a huge punt upfield from the goalkeeper, catch it on his foot and pass it in one movement without the thing touching the ground. The bloke was sheer class, perhaps the best flighter of a ball I ever saw. There'd be a paragraph in the paper if he miscontrolled the ball - it would be rare as spotting a pair of Panda's mating in the local park. And when people talk about someone being too lightweight to cope with hard, physical opponents they should have watched Gibbo cos, although he was as light as they make em, very few of the thugs - and that's what some of em were in the 60's - ever got near enough to tackle him and his kit would often finish as clean at the end as when he started. You wouldn't have seen Gibbo slipping all over the ground like Kenton. He was to passing what Le-Tissier was to shooting really although, that said, LeTiss could pass brilliantly too and it's probably daft anyway trying to compare anyone with LeTiss. The man had his own inimitable way of being a genius. But Gibbo was as special creatively as we've ever had in my time and a truly smashing bloke as well. Anyway, welcome to the forum just the same. You picked some cracking players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 29 October 2006 Share Posted 29 October 2006 Apparently my Dad has a slide somewhere of Tommy Wright teaching me how to take penalties at a Junior Fox thing in about 1990. I've asked for him to get it made up and framed for Christmas. Ooh Tommy Wri-ight! Ooh Tommy Wri-ight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Wallington was better than Shilton or Banks, Walsh was better than Ian King, Tony Knapp or John Sjoberg and are you leaving David Gibson out altogether?

Nationwider Posted 29 October 2006 Share Posted 29 October 2006 I played against Alan Smith a couple of times and was bloody glad not to have been our centre-half! He's the ultimate advert for the (non) league ladder. We signed him for £7,000 from Alvechurch, and he goes on to play for England and score the winning goal in a European cup final. Amazing! I bet that never happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
