There are so many, John Charles, Derek Tapscott, Gerry Hitchins, Robin Friday spring to mind, and obviously in recent times Craig Bellamy. :ayatollah:

Depends on the outlines for best, Because Ramsey will probably go onto become the best, but those years will not be in a City shirt.

John Toshack for me, but Brian Clark and Don Murray a little bit behind from our older times!

Bellamy, Bothroyd & Chopra (in that order) from our most recent times! :ayatollah:

Craig Bellamy :ayatollah:

There is no doubt the greatest player to wear a City shirt was John Charles once voted by a panel on Sky as in the greatest team of all time and could have played at centre half or centre forward in the greatest team. Unfortunately City fans did not see him at his best. Ratclife and Mike England fall in that category. For me Ian Gibson, Brian Harris are the best I have seen and Ramsey will be up there with the greats in the near future

Gerry Hitchens and Ian Gibson were both class acts.

i can only comment from 1975, jason koumas first time around and aaron ramsey.

For me it was Gary O'Neill. He was only here for a short while but he turned an ordinary side into one that stuffed West Ham 4 v 1.

I was gutted when he went back.

Up there also were Koumas, Blakey and Roger Johnson.

Aaron Ramsey though will go onto become the best Welsh player ever. Better than Giggs and Charles I think!

It has to be Jay Bothroyd, winning an England cap whilst playing for us, not at the beginning or end of career. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Ian Gibson, Ivor Allchurch & John Charles
Saw John Charles score a goal from well inside his own half against Norwich (bit of a fluke)

Willie Anderson and what about Eddie Newton

Re: THE BEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY IN A CITY SHIRT

Sun Jun 26, 2011 4:13 pm

Annis Abraham Jnr ;)

Seriously, Bellamy would be up there. As would Earnie, Friday, Keenor, Kavanagh and of course Len Davies :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Graham Kavanagh or Bellamy purely down to their commitment contribution to the team (too young to see half of the others posted)

Steve Gammon, a broken leg in 1965 ended the career of a man who would have been a really great footballer.
