Great servant for us ,just like Ralls was ,steady reliable,this is who I think bagan will become another joe bennet,.
God all these lads retiring i am still shinning up ladders at 67 .

I don't think there has been a better left back than Joe in the 30+ years I've been supporting City.

You've got your fan favourites like Legg and Fabio had a couple of great seasons for us (albeit he might have played more on the right). I also really liked Andy Taylor under Malky but Joe is no.1 for me I think.

BTW Man City had an open training season this week for clubs to come and see which youngsters are available for loan. Wilson-Esbrand is again available. We were linked last year but I'd snap him up again this year if he's keen.
