Kev's who have played for the City (1 Viewer)

[rob9872]

I was thinking about the wasted fees on Kyle and Drinkell and wondered if there's been a worse name of player who has played for us over the years than Kevin? We have a few individual names to rival (Yakubu!) but as a collective with eg more than 5 examples.

I've found 10 Kev's and arguably only Gallacher has produced in a City shirt, the rest a real poor bunch:

Kevin Drinkell
Kevin Foley
Kevin Gallacher
Kevin Kilbane
Kevin Kyle
Kevin MacDonald
Kevin Pressman
Kevin Richardson
Kevan Smith
Kevin Thornton

*edit I guess in recent years a lot of Jordan's at our lowest ebb, but more a product of today's names, so the jury's out!

We did have Kevin Ball as a teenager but Gould I think moved him on before playing a game

This made me wonder how many Chuba’s we’ve had play for us. Could only think of one.

I'm pretty sure Kev Thornton took a photo of me and some mates at FarGo the other week. Seemed happy enough!

Wanker Bellamy

Unfortunately can't go into the unique list, as we've also had Wanker Yakubu and Wanker Lee Hughes. I had thought Fucking-useless Julian Darby was on his own too, but then noted we'd had quite a few more.

Terry Bly in his day was a good City player

Reckon the Steve’s would win in a name based tournament.

Reckon the Steve’s would win in a name based tournament.

The Dave's or John's would give them a decent game. The Mikes would score plenty but with Quirke in goal I think they'd be suspect at the back.

What about Toms?

Some decent Toms but not enough. Perhaps we could add the surnames Thomas and Thompson to give them a chance.
