The best strike partnership I've ever seen for City, they scored 28 goals each in our title winning season. Carl Dale is still my favourite ever City player. Dale also had great partnerships with Chris Pike and Steve White.

Thinking about it we've been spoilt with strike partnerships over the years. Bothroyd and Chopra and Earnie and Thorne were also fantastic partnerships. Remember Chopra and Steve Thompson tearing Championship defences apart too taking us to the top of the league before our lack of strength in depth costing us at the time. :ayatollah:

Of all the 'poachers' we have had, Evans, Dale, Earnie, Chopra. Dale is by far my favourite. I'm sure my mind is biased but he rarely had any droughts.

Dale is my favourite ever City player because he was small in stature, took a kicking, got battered, kept coming back for more and then eventually got the better of the big, bruising centre back to score. Guts, heart, fight, spirit and talent! :notworthy:

Those are the days when I first started going, I always thought Tony Evans would go on to bigger things, did we not sigh him from Orient?

Funny how we can remember which teams we signed certain players from in the 70's but it's so difficult to remember our wedding anniversary or the wife's birthday!

Phil Stant was my hero. Probably my favourite all time city player. The fans loved him and he gave us everything!

Yes I think it was, Jason Fowlers lives by me and i often tell him, I thought he was quality and should have gone a long way.
