Best City Loan XI*

[Rosencrantz]

*Cannot include any players who have signed permanently for City before or after their loan spells (ie no George Friend or Jayden Stockley).

I'll kick off with;

Ben Hamer

Jack Stacey
Dara O'Shea
Gary Sawyer
Angus MacPherson

Lee Hodges
Steve Tupling
Simon Milton
Craig Noone

Gary Alexander
Lee Bradbury

I'm not sure if this has been done previously (I cannot find anything) but apologies if it has.

That's an impressive line-up, although I'd swap Tupling for Simon Davies. A case could also be made for the inclusion of George Friend, who, as I recall, was loaned back to us by Wolves.

That's why I said signed permanently before or after - so players like George or Mark Robson or Ryan Harley wouldn't be available for selection.

It will be interesting who else made an impression on in a short space of time with different supporters. Of course some will be able to go back further in time than me (or can remember anymore loan goalkeepers - I can only remember two others than Hamer).

No Fred Binney?

No Fred Binney?

Before my time and I was always thought he signed permanently some time afterwards so not eligible. No player who has been signed on a permanent contract will be eligible for this XI.

Thinking

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

Dave Crown(forward)in late March from Portsmouth in 82/83.
Scored 3 goals in 6 games & was probably instrumental in saving the Grecians from relegation to Division 4 with that input.

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

The best loan for goals ratio was I expect Simon Milton(midfielder)from Ipswich In October 1987.
3 goals in only 2 games

 

[iscalad]

Paul Tisdsle.
