Speedie - My dad told me he was a professional and I thought that was a special thing... I used to play naughts and crosses on beermats with him at The Dominion pub.

Easy question for me.

 

David Buchanan. He made his City debut at the tender age of 16 (he might still be our youngest ever debutant) on New Year's Day 1979 against Oldham in the 2nd Division. He scored on his debut in a 2-0 win along with another City player, the late Bobby Smith, who also scored.

 

Jock Wallace was throwing youth into the fray in that game and a third player also made his City debut. A certain Gary Lineker if I recall, but he was completely upstaged that day.

 

Obviously we all remember Dave Buchanan, but that Lineker fellow, now what became of him I wonder?

League yes, but youngest ever debutant is Ashley chambers at 15 in a league cup match vs blackpool

Davie Gibson! As a kid I craved the same shirt number, trained in the same gym, walked like him, ran like him, practiced the same tricks -  but still wasn't worthy of even cleaning his boots!

Thommo, particularly after the PlayOff goal at Swindon. Then, and forever after, Muzzy, and I still wear 6 at every opportunity, even though I'm a big lump of a CB...

Mark Wallington for me.  Went about 8 years or so without even missing a game.
