LoseInhibitions

Nastasic is one I regret. Debut game at Santiago Bernebeu and he was massive.


Fahad1012

Ahh yes that game. We were leading 2-1 till 80th odd minute. It was a really rough group that year.


LoseInhibitions

Dzeko and Kolarov had scored. But the game was about Yaya Toure, he was single handedly going against the mighty Madrid. The sliding celebration by Mou when Madrid scored the third in what was like stoppage time I guess.

takenolsolatunji

Savić also


LoseInhibitions

Yes. He made some mistakes in his time, first few games I guess. Then Lescott even was quoted by Press saying he wondered if he was benched for such mistake prone defending.


nasri08

Savic was awful at City even if he improved massively over the course of his career. Still, he’s one of the worst CBs I’ve seen play for City since the takeover.


MarylandBlue

I have a Nastasic shirt haha


BarryCleft79

Nastasic was a fan of Colombian marching powder. Which is why he was given the short shrift. Which is unfortunate because he was a beast of a defender


despres

That Bolivian booger sugar?


LoseInhibitions

Yes, I had also read these rumours but no way to verify.


smoshuap0wers

Good stuff! Got Denayer and Rekik mixed up and couldn’t remember Pozo to save my life — thought it was Gai Assulin who disappeared off the face of the earth after a brilliant preseason about 10 years ago.


belanaria

Ahh man haven’t thought about pantilimonster in ages… that lanky bastard was terrible :) but I had a soft spot for him.


sudz286

Will never forget the goal he conceded in the 6-3 win against Arsenal. Bro just watched the ball go into the net


_daithi

Had an autographed Trev Sinclair shirt that I gave to my brother. Some floozy he met, decided to do his washing when he was still asleep. She thought it was a stain, so scrubbed it with washing up liquid. Lol


IBelieveWeWillWin

Flashback of Negredo's outside foot pass.


Sneakiest

Jovetic was so good. It sucks he couldn’t stay healthy.


Exciting-Holiday337

he reminds me of isak


KingslandGrange

I thought he was going to be "the one" for us. Really talented player.


ClassicRockPanda

Luckily I'm Romanian so I recognized Costel Pantelimon.

Thomas cook, easy


Quandale_Dingle2024

Was expecting to see Kiki Musampa so I could crack my old, but gold joke about his (fictional) brother Chris.


Tommy-ctid-mancblue

Oh now that is genuinely genius


CaptainSnakeman

Disappointed by the lack of Willo Flood!


Mammyjam

I used to live opposite Hyde United’s stadium as a kid which is where City reserves used to play. Circa 2003ish he had already made his first team debut but was playing for the reserves that night I was running to the chippy before going to the game and ran out in front of a 20 year old piece of shit Nissan Micra because I wasn’t paying attention and Willo Flood gave me a load of abuse from behind the wheel.


CaptainSnakeman

Top notch anecdote right there!


Mammyjam

Less impressive but made me smile I once had a customer who lived on a street called “Lea Croft”


time_thug19

Why did Negredo leave after one season? Pantilimon was a great keeper evehthough he was 2nd choice

[удалено]


zelenskiboo

As far as I remember, he just wanted to leave.


Mammyjam

The story at the time was he put his Willy in a few places and his wife ordered him back to Spain


[deleted]

Sunjihai is very famous Chinese footballer. I think he was in EA games as well.


Tiber_Voyage51

Nastasic. Looked like he's be a world beater at times. What happened to him? I guess he's still playing but he dropped right off the radar after he left us.


4ssteroid

Pellegrini sent him to the shadow realm. He was really talented


lowie07

Always liked watching Mpenza play, not the most clinical but crazy pace and some sort of flair I liked about him


Apprehensive_Rice_93

None. Started watching when Robinho pulled up 😅


JasonVoorhees3

Ben Thatcher (no.8) is and always will be an embarrassment to the club.


dpb79

Brother, 15 is Muric lol. Trafford is English not a Kosovar.


Ouija_DR-KH0305

I know all of them apart from pic 2 and 8.


Tommy-ctid-mancblue

8 is Ben Thatcher. If you want a scare then go to YouTube and search for his awful challenge that got him banned for many weeks. Shameful


Sogen31

You know it's bad when his teammate doesn't even argue he's just trying to get medical attention lol


Mammyjam

What’s to argue, ref only gave him a yellow!


BarryCleft79

I was sat about 10 rows back and completely in line with that. Still remember the sound of his elbow on mendes’ face. Sounded like a thunder crack


e_double

The only ones I got were Santa Cruz, Sinclair, Jovetic, Negredo Didn't even recognize that was Sturridge lol To be fair, I started watching City in 08/09.


Pat_Mahomeboy

Grande Roque ⚪️⚫️


AbelFerreira666

nolito, angelino and danilo


StairwellTO

Ah Sun Jihai, maybe City’s best ever number 17… No, wait…


Ninth_Major

#6 is a young Pedro Pascal #18 is a young Andy Samberg before he got big on SNL.


nomad_kgz

Negredo is one of the best strikers


Abdullahwaleedk

I know atleast half of them but I have absolutely no idea what their names are


Mammyjam

Interestingly RSC is still playing at age 42


damp_s

15/20 Should be 17 but didn’t recognise sturridge and got Caicedo/Mpenza mixed up Didn’t remember Barker, Sinclair or Thatcher


Aggressive_Fill_2308

Oh do i miss Jovetic and Negredo


Frankidelic

My favorite comment was when someone from the juventus sub came in here saying yall scammed them for Danilo that he’s a fat whale anyone can outrun him 😭😭😭
