Favourite Ever Cov City Player ? (1 Viewer)

[bringbackrattles]

In the pub on Saturday night a group of us were discussing great players who have turned out for us over the years.
Taking it in turns we had to choose our favourite ever player not necessarily the best. I had a few players in mind but chose George Hudson as mine. A no nonsense centre forward, hard as nails, scoring goals with his head and feet, just a fantastic striker for us.A younger bloke chose Huckerby which was met with approval. So who's your favourite ? Any era.

Brian Borrows for me

Dion Dublin.

 

[Gibbo]

The man to the left - Ian Gibson. And in the modern era Vincelot

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

Dion Dublin.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Too many to mention.

 

[SussexSkyBlue]

Robbie Keane still can't believe we had someone of that quality, absolutely electric.

 

[Magwitch]

Ian Gibson, simply the best.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Close between Dion Dublin and Andre Wright.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Can't pick between Speedie, Ndlovu, Dublin, Gallagher or Keane.

Ndlovu probably. A shining light to talk about to all the glory supporting Man Utd idiot kids at school.

 

[WestEndAgro]

Speedo

 

[SBT]

Roland Nilsson. All day.

 

[Frostie]

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Jenkinson, Rennie, Marsh, Haworth, Engonga, Yakubu

 

[fatso]

Tommy Hutchison. End of, close the thread, go to bed.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

My brick is on his wall the Great Tommy

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Great question

My favourite ever player I’ve seen in a sky Blues shirt is Dion Dublin

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Tommy Hutchison with a honourable mention to Dion Dublin.

 

[matesx]

Speedie


Huckerby, Dublin, Wise, Gally Keane WGS

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Go with B B R and the Hud when he came completely different to other centre forwards most were just battering rams .His first touch was trapping the ball doing a shimmy leaving the Halifax player for dead and scoring a hatrick on his debut made him an instant hero.Class act.

 

[Dickie]

I really liked Gallacher, Speedie, Dublin, Robson, Hadji, there’s been loads hasn’t there!

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I think anyone who saw him play wouldn’t be able to pick any other player than the wonderful Tommy Hutchison. Mr Magic.

controversial perhaps, but... do you think nostalgia has coloured our view of him? There can be no doubt that someone like Dublin made much more of a contribution to the club, we didn’t win a single game away from home in Keane’s one season with us. I’m not for one minute saying he was crap, but was he that good for us?

Speedie


Huckerby, Dublin, Wise, Gally Keane WGS

Excellent choices, had Terry Gibson stayed longer I think he’d be featuring in a few of these lists..

Julien Gray

 

[Evo1883]

Honestly though, I have no idea... I like many players from many different seasons... Hard question... I did love Gary mcallister and Roland nilsson

I was there for his debut too. As kids we used to go up to Norton Hill where many players lived. Stood outside Hudson's house hoping he'd come out, and he did giving us his autograph. He became to all us kids our hero !
