Watching the West Ham - Spurs game, they mentioned that the Hammers have retired Bobby Moore's shirt so no other player will wear his number 6. I'm not sure about following this custom, but it got me wondering if we have any legends - true, indisputable legends - who would merit having their numbers retired.
The one candidate I can think of right now is Oggy, who won the cup and has put in decades of service - though I realise some may not agree. There have been other great players in my time watching City, but they tend to only be here for a few seasons so it is debatable whether you can identify them with the Sky Blues more than any other club. I know some speak very positively about some of our players in the 60s an 70s, but I didn't see them personally so I'm not really in a position to judge.
So my question to the rest of you is: If we were in the business of retiring the shirts of truly great players, is there any player who has made such a huge contribution to this club that they would deserve to have that honour?
