Favourite Ever City Players

[antman]

With all the Ryan Harley talk, I realised that he overtook Scott Hiley as my favourite ever City player while working wonders with us at three different levels in our recent Golden Years. Was so important creatively that he left a massive gap when he left.

So I was wondering who are your favourite ever City players? Not the ones you think were the best (so no arguments, it's entirely subjective), but the ones you liked the most, for whatever reason. For example, while I think Christian Roberts was the most technically gifted and exciting player to watch I have ever seen with a City shirt on, he isn't among my top 5 players. Players like Hiley and Rob Edwards will always mean more to me than him because of the (cliche alert) 110% they gave for the club I love. David Wheeler is in there because he is mates with my nephews having grown up with them, and because he seems to have a very strong symbolism regarding the new younger team with their fresh enthusiasm. It will also depend on how old you are or how long you have been following the mighty Grecians. My first game was in 1970/71. And of course, I may have forgotten someone.

So here are my Top Ten

1 Ryan Harley
2 Scott Hiley
3 Alan Beer
4 Tony Kellow
5 Rob Edwards
6 Steve Neville
7 Richard Logan
8 Jamie Cureton
9 David Wheeler
10 Christian Roberts

 

[Jason H]

My all-time favourite is Darran Rowbotham.

Beyond that the rest of my top 10, in no particular order, would probably comprise:

Rob Edwards
Scott Hiley
Kevin Miller
Steve Flack
Matt Taylor
Glenn Cronin
John Hodge
Sean Devine
Matt Gill

But this list could be subject to change based on a whim or having accidentally forgotten someone!

 

[John William]

Fred Binney would be top for me - 90 goals in 177 games for City speaks for itself, he lit up my student years. I'd need to think about the others, apart from Tony Kellow and probably Matt Taylor.

[Dubai Grecian]

My top ten...

1. Danny Bailey, what he lacked in ability he made up for in effort
2. Dazza, arguably the best striker we've ever had
3. Clive Whitehead, your perfect "hardman" who could actually play a bit
4. Kevin Miller
5. Sean Devine
6. Scott Hiley
7. Fred Binney
8. Matt Taylor
9. Jamie Mackie
10.Matt Grimes, simply on the list because of potential

I could agree with most of the above but going back to the 70's I would also add Peter Hatch and Lammie Robertson into the mix.

 

[AlanDevlin]

1 Peter Hatch
2 Rob Edwards
3 Tony Kellow
4 Graham Parker
5 Lammie Robertson
6 Danny Bailey
7 Mark Robson
8 Bob Wilson
9 Dean Moxey
10 Fred Binney

Very little between nos 3-10 - and a lot more that could be included on that list - Neville, Harrower, Friend, Hiley, Vinnicombe, Taylor, Banks, Gibson, Benjamin and more....

 

[citizen]

For me,
Tony Kellow, Alun Beer, Steve Neville, Clive Whitehead, Fred Binney,Kevin Miller, Shaun Taylor, Dean Moxey,Darren Rowbotham, Scott Hiley.
With Ryan Harley and Matt Taylor and Jamie Cureton on the fringes.

Stuart Storer for me , I guess it all depends on your age and who you've seen play.
