Icons. Wallace on goals per game - would make any modern era City team. Not to mention the iconic kit and hair.Wallace and Ferguson
Sadly not, only in brief highlights from the time he was here.Never saw Terry Gibson?

Fergie is very under-rated in that partnership as well - goals per game just slightly less than Dion's.
Perhaps the combination would have produced more goals for each, who knows. Some players just click right away.Regis and Gallacher.
I think these 2 would also be as effective these days as they were then. Perhaps not the best finishers compared to Quinn, Dublin & Gibson but both technically excellent with pace and skill
Was never the same without FergusonGibsons goals per game is better than Wallaces, that's why I went for him. He played in far worse teams as well.
Wallace was a great player for us and did ok at Forest as well though I'll leave it to forest supporters to decide whether he lived up to the price paid for him.
Green was lightning quick as wellMISSING - Not a long term member but scored what was the greatest ever City goal - Houchen
and the player that invented No.10 position before it became vogue - Alan Green
Agree, on the top of their game, the best players we have had in their respective positions. Feel West Brom had the best of Regis before he went off the rails and Blackburn the best of Gallacher. Fortunately for us, Regis regained form after he cut out the night clubbing but sadly was never quite as good again than his early years at West BromRegis and Gallacher.

I think the move to Forest was completely wrong for him CVD - incredible pressure given the fee at the time. Terry Gibson was brilliant for us and I agree he was in weaker teams - so it's a fair argument you are making. But Wallace has the better goals per game record - albeit close.Gibsons goals per game is better than Wallaces, that's why I went for him. He played in far worse teams as well.

And apparently the story goes, the reason why was while discussing terms Brian Clough was critical of Ferguson’s beard and Mick took the hump about it.Ferguson actually turned down a move to Forest before Wallace went there so potentially they could have both been at Forest, that would have been interesting.
Remember Bobby Robson saying he wasn’t worth the money before we played them. Fergie scored 4 as we won 4-1And apparently the story goes, the reason why was while discussing terms Brian Clough was critical of Ferguson’s beard and Mick took the hump about it.
Ipswich were very interested at the time but it didn’t happen and he joined Everton.
I think what Robson said was that he wanted to see how he did against his defence (Beatie & Hunter?) to see if he was worth the money.Remember Bobby Robson saying he wasn’t worth the money before we played them. Fergie scored 4 as we won 4-1
Thought it was just me imagining the 999 thing on the CET scoreboard! Was it really as early as '64? Blimey. I was only eleven if that's the case. Was stood on the Sky Blue terrace, presumably with my dad. If asked, I'd have thought it a bit later. Live and learn!That’s true, I guess I was looking back nostalgically at how he tore up the second division in our championship year. Maybe he would have done better staying with us, although you couldn’t blame him for joining Arsenal. On the subject of Gould, does anyone remember a night game against Ipswich, December 1964? Freezing cold. We won 5-0 and Gould scored a first half hat-trick. i remember it well, because we’d just had the new scoreboard installed, and it showed 999. The Mirror (my dad’s paper) the next day ran the headline with a photograph of the scoreboard ‘999 but no help for Ipswich’.
I remember Greeny (and was it Denis Mortimer? Not sure) trying a donkey kick in a reserves game, maybe the same week as the Carr/Hunt effort - before it wa banned anyway. He missed!Green was lightning quick as well
You’re right Kneeza, it was Dec 1966Thought it was just me imagining the 999 thing on the CET scoreboard! Was it really as early as '64? Blimey. I was only eleven if that's the case.

I’m still disappointed that after 4 pages on the best Coventry strikers no-one has gone for the binmen…..
Are you still at school?Best strikers in my lifetime are Gyokeres, King and Godden
Ffs it's been running all week, I open up to post about the bin men teachers etc and missed it by half a day!I’m still disappointed that after 4 pages on the best Coventry strikers no-one has gone for the binmen…..

Yes it was later, December 1966, when I was 11. Sorry about that! But still a great evening!Thought it was just me imagining the 999 thing on the CET scoreboard! Was it really as early as '64?
