Dublin whelan huckerby will always be that bit special to many of us who were growing up as teenagers in the 90s
Not many city fans talk about soltvedt do they? Remember him

Peter Ndlovu for me. He was the first player I ever really idolised as a kid. Also, my first ever kits were the sky blue pony kit and the purple and yellow away kit. So this is my favourite ever away kit and player all rolled in to one

Seen that pic a million times but those sleeves always take me by supprise. Those flapping in the wind must are hardly aerodynamic
Huckerby was the first player asked my dad to get printed on my shirt.
Shame he doesn't really come across that arsed with Cov these days

Loved Thompson aswell to be fair, I know he's no club legend or anything but just rated him
Always had a soft spot for McSheffrey, him or Keith O’Neill
My second favourite after Dion. Was gutted when he barely even touched on his time at Cov when he was on Undr the Cosh podcast. More bothered and clinging on to Liverpool.
Bill Glazier for me.
Favourite outfield player was Dion. Thought we were paying over the odds when we signed him. Turned out to be a bargain!

I used to rate George Boateng highly
of course- true story about him, during his very first training session at Ryton someone broke in and stole his engraved Rolex which had been presented to him after Rosenborg played Juventus in the Champions League as he won man of the match
Hutchison.
Just beautiful to watch his craft and trickery.
Plus 9 yrs and 314 games in sky-blue.

George hudson and tommy hutch , if you didnt name these two you never saw them play.
David Burrows because I scored a penalty against him
he doesn’t get brought up much, does he. Always speaks in glowing terms about us, and if memory serves was clocked with the most powerful shot in the country
Bloody hell BBR! You've set a task here! Gonna have to choose my favourites, (note the plural!). Anyway, here goes:
Tommy Hutch
The Hud
Bobby McDonald (probably rates as my all time favourite!)
Ernie Machin
Willie Carr
Mick Ferguson
Mick Coop
I can't go on because I would be naming just about every player from our era!

I had that dilemma on Saturday night as I said I've got half a dozen. But we agreed just the one. I know who Otis would pick but he's not joined in yet !Bloody hell BBR! You've set a task here! Gonna have to choose my favourites, (note the plural!). Anyway, here goes:

Ian Wallace for me what a great season that was 77/78
I can’t believe I had to scroll down so far to see the big man’s name!
Loved Dublin. Loved Speedie. Loved Gallacher etc etc etc But it’s Cyrille! Come on!
As a young lad at the time I cried when George left, he was loved by city fans
Nilsson or Dublin, both a class above.
As a kid it was Gallacher and nothing is like your favourite player as a kid, they’re special.

Me to, the one player that never failed to get me out of the seat everytime he got the ball.

Gallacher was probably the most pissed off I’ve been about us selling a player...maybe Dublin.
What were you doing in his seat?
Maybe it’s age, but despite the great players we’ve had over the years (Hutchinson, Dublin, Nilsson etc etc) it’s hard for me to look beyond the 60’s heroes, Hudson, Gibson, Machin, Rees, Willie Carr (who I always pretended to be on a football pitch), big George. The 60’s in Cov, a thriving City and a thriving football club, what a time to be alive! Modern era, was oh ah Lloyd McGrath the best destroyer we ever had?
Favourite, not best so has to be Speedie then Wise.
I went to games waiting to see what they would do.
After that Gynn, Dublin, Huckerby, for a short time Quinn and really started to like Livingstone, as one of our kids he hit the ground running.
Loads i could say so not really an easy answer. Regis, Bennet were great at the time but can't just say 2nd lot FA Cup winning team lol.
Having lived abroad for 15 years it's hard to judge another player in the lower leagues via internet radio, ifollow and dodgy streams, it's why i don't say much on match threads. If i have to go for a modern day one then (remember you said favourite not best) Doyle for giving it his all like LLoyd McGrath, (not including loan players).
Latest players, then someone like JJ.
I love to see a player who will get me off my seat through his skill or by battling.
Only started following us (not supporting in 86, as my Mum brought me a CCFC tracksuit from one of the sports shops in the city centre (in 86) on sale as end of the season (cost less than a Nike one etc) (it was up a ramp and not their now).
Needed one for PE at school.
From the next season 87, i was hooked (helped that we won the FA Cup), my Mum chose well and i don't blame her for every year after (or am i just being nice) lol.

I think my profile picture says it all. Always in awe of the big man and felt about 5 foot tall when I met him in this photo.
