Favourite City flop

[Adrian Holloway]

I thought I'd try and lighten the mood with this thread.

City have signed or taken on loan many players over the years who never made it. Yet sometimes we cannot help but be endeared by a player, even if he couldn't hit a barn door with a bango or tackle his way out of a wet paper bag. So who are you favourite City flops?

Mine is Nicholas Bignall.

Leon Braithwaite. The sense of anticipation you got when he flew down the pitch at break neck speed only to be disappointed. An honourable mention also for Andy Cyrus, dunno why. Just something about him.

Leon also broke 2 goal keepers legs in 2 games, first was the Orient keep at home, but cant for the life of me remember the following team, that was 1997 aswell, we won 3-2

Leon Braithwaite.

Good shout. He could do 100m in just over ten seconds and would regularly outchase many a centre-back to the hoofs up the field. However, he had no idea what to do with the ball when he was in this position.

Clive Stafford. Came on at full back at half time at Cambridge in 1990 with City winning 2-0, we went on to lose 3-2. I think that was the only time he played for us. Epic fail.

wasn't that John Williams who broke the keepers legs? Same season I thought.

Kwame Ampadu. He gave it his all and stayed loyal, but was a shocking footballer.
