Ok I'll have a go ....

Winger, started his career at City, played for 3 midlands teams still involved in the game but nothing to do with playing or managing. Got loads of O'levels and 3 A level's. Promising when he first burst onto the scene. Bought me a hummell tracksuit, used to live with my nan :)

Should be enough clues there, apart from my nan of course lol

Yeah that's what helped! Not that he lived with your nan. What's he doing these days out of interest? He was one of my favourite players, real shame he dropped off after such a great start in the Speedie side.

Suppose I had better try one: ball winning midfielder considered good enough for the World Cup by his national team, but rarely got near our side during his spell with us, such was our strength in central midfield. Might have some sympathies with a controversial opinion of Regis Genaux.

Ha Ha! Tom English. Wasn't a bad player but some fans couldn't be doing with him as they thought him lazy. My mate had an argument with a bloke in the West Stand about him one day, my mate said, after English scored, that he'd get a hat trick that day. Other bloke said if he did, he'd bare his arse. He duly got a hat trick, bloke got some stick and cleared off rather than do the deed.

Wasn't his brother Tony on City's books too?

Winger.

22 England Caps

One of only a few players to play for Man Utd and Man City. Also played for West Brom and Leeds. Scored 2 in 18 games for us in the mid 80’s.

Largely shit.

That's even difficult with Google as a cheat aid! Best I can come up with is possibly Matthew Christensen or Jay Lucas?
