    Yes I'm bored.....

    We often talk as a collective about favourite city teams, players etc but what about those players who perhaps don't get talked about as much as they should?

    Personal favourite of mine, Nathan Doyle.

    I thought this guy was immense yet is often overlooked because a certain G Jones, gets all the plaudits from that period yet to me this guy just as good. Had an engine, did the simple stuff, got stuck in, and one of my all time city faves.

    I even remember his loan spell, where he came as 18 year old right back and really stood out.

    Come on let's start bigging these guys up, any more for the list

    Gareth Whalley

    McCall got the plaudits , Whalley got on with it without the fanfare nor accolades.

    Who was the back up striker we had when we went up and made the league cup final. Telling I can’t remember his name but remember he contributed well

    John 'Tumble' Dreyer, something of an unsung hero in City achieving promotion to the Premier League and his contribution to our survival in that 1999-2000 season.

    Gavin Oliver. Absolute stalwart in that near year, with McCall and Hendrie often taking the accolades

    Nicky Summerbee.

    Have we had a better passer/crosser of the ball in recent times?

    Marco Sas underated by many but gave his all in the heart of our defence.

    Andy Cook.

    Phenomenal goal scoring record at this level and into the clubs top 10 all time leading scorers yet we have posters suggesting we should actively look to move him on.
