[skybluelee]

Oggy, Pearce, Peake, Gillespie, Nilsson, Hutchinson, McAllister, McGrath, Dublin, Keane, Bennett.....Subs Flowers, Davenport, Babb, Boateng, Huckerby.......seems a decent Matchday squad ️

Pearce was the best
Honorable mentions to
McDonald
Cattlin
Sansom
Wilf Smith

Wasn't Wilf a right back who we later turned into a defensive midfielder?

It's a good idea. Don't like it don't respond.

Pearce, my footballing idol

& Greg Downs - because I've got a photo of me holding his fa cup medal

80s

No left back.

Yep, then we'll have one for the worst player at every position.

Oh goody, I have at least 40 or 50 suggestions for every position for that one.

 

[SkyBlueZack]

Didn't see Pearce in a City shirt so I'll have to go Froggy

90's

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Bobby McDonald for me. Great attacking full back in a great attacking team. Just shades it from Chris Cattlin.
60s

 

[Suffolkskyblue]

Bobby McDonald - such an exciting player and a firm favourite with the fans.
60s

It depends on the formation you're going for. If it's 5-3-2 with wing backs I'd say Froggatt. If it's a 4-4-2 I'd say Burrows. 90s.

I was thinking 4-4-2 for ease.

We've had some decent options over the years at LB. Pearce was a superb player but we only had him for 50 games or so and he became a top player at Forest. So for me, based on CCFC performances, Chris Cattlin is the only possible choice. 60s, by the way.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Started watching city 60s

First left back was dietmar bruck...always thought he was a dependable defender but not unbelievably good

Downs will always be remembered fondly...he got no hair but we don't care

Pearce had such potential...fulfilled at forest and England

McDonald and even fox deserve mentions

My vote though is for catlin...all you need in a full back. I really thought he would play regularly for England.

Burrows.
80's.

I also thought Steve Morgan was not bad at LB.

You are right about Cattlin not getting capped unfortunate to have the great Ray Wilson around at the same time and then Terry Cooper

Ryan Haynes
00s

Also, I'm assuming we put the decade we began supporting Coventry? I was born early 90s, but never really began going up until early to mid 00s.

How deprived must you have been to suggest Steve Morgan?

Or maybe that should be depraved.

 

[1ccfc]

Merely mentioned I thought he was not bad. Didn't realise I had suggested him for anything

Yes, that's right mate.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Remember Frank - and Roy Kirk and Ken Jones too. After all,I go back to 1952!

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

From what i've hear, Pearce was something special. I didn't get to see him play for us, so i'd go for Danny Fox

 

[Jcap]

On the basis he stepped up from non league to top flight (and effortlessly too), got to be Pearce. McDonald a very close and fine 2nd...

70's

It could be worse! Someone suggested Marcus Hall, FFS.

Frank Austin probably As for Roy Kirk my dad told me of a bazaar own goal he scored at Northampton when a kick out by our goalie struck Kirk on the head and bounced in Imagine that nowadays get a few viewings on YouTube I reckon

Scary thing is, he'd be relatively high on my list, too!

After Downs and Edwards, the only way was up!

 

[skybluelee]

Keep them coming folks.

Pearce was quality but as stated wasn't here that long. I go for spider who is still a big fan of the club. Marked Best out of the game on his debut and I used to enjoy his spats with Harry Redknap Vs West Ham. There was a campaign to 'save our Spider' before he moved on.

 

[bringbackrattles]

Stuart Pearce for me. Cattlin close second.

 

[no_loyalty]

Greg Downs (absolute legend)
