    I'm sure he would have been but it looks like his traveling has stopped him posting.

    I found it difficult to choose 10 favourite players. I only started watching City regularly from the 1990's so my choice is mainly in the modern era.
    Here are my 10:
    Stuart McCall
    Gareth Whalley
    Edinho
    James Hanson
    Nakhi Wells
    Peter Beagrie
    Benito Carbone
    Wayne Jacobs
    Gary Jones
    Jamie Lawrence

    Narrowly missing the top 10 are Dean Richards, Eddie Youds, Peter Thorne and Robbie Blake

    Peter Downsborough
    Ces Podd
    Ian Cooper
    Stuart McCall
    Roy McFarland
    Trevor Cherry
    John Hall
    Peter Beagrie
    Sir Bobby
    Robbie Blake
    Mark Ellis
    Was going to pick my worst 11 but just look at a team sheet from last season

    From my time watching City, in no particular order...
    Gareth Evans- would give his all and run himself to the ground.
    Gary Jones - no explanation needed.
    Nakhi Wells - one of the most talented players in my time.
    Guy Branston - put his all into the claret and amber.
    Luke OBrien - not the most talented, but again played with pride.
    Rory McArdle - solid, dependable CB, couple of years ago ;)
    James Hanson - enough said.

    Obviously I've missed some. But they came to the top of my head, along with Peter Throne - always liked him -, Dean furman, David syers, Ricketts and Daley.

    For older fans Peter Downsborough would be on the list as would the brilliant Trevor Hockey and Bruce Stowell

    Definitely agree with Downsborough and Stowell but I only saw Hockey when he came back and I thought he was very poor. A bit like a bearded Micky Kennedy wanting to kick anything

    He wasn’t the same player but I remember his first spell I was heartbroken when he was sold

    Not in anybodys top ten, but I have very fond memories of Jimmy Quinn. That guy knew where the net was. Remember being on the kop when he scored a late winner against West Ham. Legendary!
