Following on from the next season's kit thread, I thought it would be interesting to see what players people associate our various kits with. So I'll post some kits over the next few days and all you've got to do is discuss which player you associate it with and why!

A couple of classics to start you off with:

Don't know why, but the second one reminds me of Lee Hurst off the top of my head.

The first one is my favourite kit ever probably because it was around when I was young and we had the best City team I have ever seen (probably will ever see). So it makes me think of Tommy Hutch, Wallace and Fergie, Graham Oakey and Bobby McDonald. Wonderful players and a wonderful team.

The second kit reminds me of Peter Ndlovu, a good player for us but someone who I felt never reached his true potential whether because of injury or the way he conducted his personal life. He and a few others stood out in the team's of that time as they were often surrounded by fairly average players, Julian Derby for example.

Good thread (though not particularly good threads some years of course).

Top one, Ian Wallace. Just remember him scoring so many goals wearing that top and yep, Wegerle. I recall a number of newspaper articles of the City around that time feauturing Wegerle in that kit.

Ian Wallace and Micky Quinn

Almost always seems to be a striker that we think of first.

Wallace, Ferguson and Yorath for the tramlines kit. While there were a few icomic players from that era, personally it has to be Peter Ndlovu for the Ribeiro kit.

It would be the other way round for me.
Realistically I can't get by Hutch in the blue.

Hutch for the first (the brown tho makes me think of Wallace). Like others I think quite a lot of ccfc best ever players played in the tramlines.
The second Quinn

The Ribero kit was '92/'93 and Gibson left at the end of the season before the cup run, if I'm not mistaken.

Didn't we swap Gibson for a busted flush Alan Brazil?

Yeah my mistake.
The yellow version of what he wore has featured in your other thread
Smashing kit.

Edit ;-Guess you're right on when he left as well as BG exited?
