Col city fan Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Bit of a random one this but I thought I'd start it anyway. I was thinking last night of examples of real skill I've seen in a City game (whether it be a City player or one of the opposition players) over the years. One of the ones that has always stood out for me was in a game at Filbert Street when we were playing Man Utd ( I can't for the life of me remember when?) and Bryan Robson was in a corner of the pitch surrounded by three of our players when he suddenly did something with his feet (I still don't know what), skipped round our three defenders and got his cross in. Other examples were the Bergkamp goal, Nalis's strike, Heskey's back flick to an incoming Claridge and Izzett's volley against Grimsby? What are the best bits of sublime skill you've seen in a City game? Better still, post the videos if you have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Ron Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Guppy turning those Derby defenders inside out (lost 2-1 though ) Can't find vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basingstoke Fox Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Knocky vs Wolves earlier this season was pretty awesome. Also when he was on the byline running back towards our goal vs Brighton, trapped the ball to go the other way and then knocked it past the oncoming defender too.

kingfox Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Nicky Adams skill down by the corner flag at the KP a couple of seasons ago. Absolutely tore the defender apart, was flaming hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 I thought Nugent running back towards his own goal like a chuckle brother and then giving a penalty away was pretty special. Only he knows how he managed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Astrit Ajdarevic did something magical with his first touch against Carlisle. Some sort of hypnotic Cruyff turn whilst last man with two players closing him down. Other than that I guess a few different touches from Knocky this season have been class (notably against Brighton when he was clearly doing it to take the piss and see how angry that short, fat, bald Egyptian bellend of a defender they have got). I always remember as a kid Ruud van Nistelrooy hit a ball so hard with no back lift or swing or anything on the volley. Not necessarily a piece of skill but it was bloody good. He missed (just) but he hit the fúcker so hard I barely even saw where it ended up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broughtonblue Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Roger davies clean through on goal, keeper to beat from about 12 yards, then trod on the ball and fell over like a sack of sh1t. Never seen anyone else pull this off since!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle of Wight Fox 86 Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Gudjohnsson from the half way line against Hull. To pick that out and hit to hard enough to lob the keeper was quite good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Barry Hayles (yes him) at Millwall away 2009. We're winning 1-0 with about 15 left, Barry comes off the bench, first time he gets the ball he does a Maradona drag-turn thing before skinning two more players on the wing. Then, like a boss, just passed it back 5 yards to a midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen anyone else pull this off since!! I remember someone going clear, beating the keeper with the shot only for the ball to get stuck in mud before crossing the goaline! No idea who or when but reckon i must have been pretty young so a good few years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Sol Bamba had quite a few, selling the striker dummies and wotnot, and a couple of mazy dribbles past about 5 up to the opposition penalty box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Knocky against Brighton earlier on the season. Had a 10 minute spell where every time he got the ball he did a trick. One in particular where he flicked his foot round the back of his other and passed it down the line. One of the Brighton defenders (El Abd) I think got the right arse with him and squared up to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 bergkamps goal. muzzys volley against spurs was technically almost perfect. joey from the half way line. other than that i'm sad to say there are very rarely flashes of brilliance from the boys in blue.
