Richard Dunne.

I'm Pro Dunney top pro and liked a drink. Me and a mate met him in a lap dancing club in Altrincham nice guy

Didn't know he did lap dancing. What level has he achieved with his lap dancing studies ??

He must be a really talented individual indeed.

I understand that while he is a little leaden-footed he shakes his phat ass like nobody's business, allegedly.

Loved him. Hard as fucking nails as well.

It was reported in the Irish Mirror at the weekend that Richard Dunne was retiring from football, only to be reported as untrue,on Twitter I think, the following day. Apparently he is intending to play on next year with whatever club, takes up his services.

I know he is often lampooned on here because of his OG record, but what do people really remember of him. I thought he was a better player than most gave him credit for, and above all else he was honest. He gave 100% and this is what endeared him to fans of both City and Ireland, where he sometimes seemed almost single-handedly to keep us in games.
He moved on with dignity when the club decided that they needed upgrades in his position. Some would argue that with the season we just had, we could have done with his commitment in a younger version of himself, amongst our central back pairings.

I wish him well whatever his decision. He always went about his business in an understated way.

a case of dunne's not done then

I don't know what his injury record was/is like but, looking back, he never seemed to miss too many games through any injuries sustained.

I can see where Iwasthere is coming from. More often than not when Dunne has been mentioned on here since he departed there have been remarks about his own goals. I get that it's just humour but it often feels like that's City fans abiding memory of him.

And I agree Wooders, the Dunney/Distin partnership was as good as it gets, the perfect blend for a centre back pairing in my view.

However as soon as Van Buyten arrived for his brief spell it was all too obvious that we were just playing at defending as he showed us what a class CB was. Amazing we couldnt afford him for £2m at the time.

[Wonderwall]

One of the things i think is a travesty most about Dunne was that rocket of a free kick. What a goal and it was disallowed and had to be retaken. Was it against WBA

[lets all have a disco]

Won a trophy as captain aswell ;-)

[nottsblue]

The right player at the right time. History will be kind to him

[KinkyKinkladze]

Modern era city legend. Filed away with uwe, kinky, sweep and goater. His own goals were comedy but part of the typical city we always secretly love. Part of the fabric, only tragedies were him not being able to win a proper trophy and one of my favourite chants not really taking off.

What's that coming out of defence, oh it's a monster, the Dunney monsterrrr

Always thought that song should've been adapted in tribute to HRH.

When Dunne was sold there was plenty of shit said on this site about him. Some of it to do with his mouthing of about how Cook got rid of him. I even got royally slated for saying I missed Dunne during the 09/10 season when Toure and Lescott were playing pants. And that season Dunne got into the PFA team of the year (no City player did that year).
I maintain he was sold a season too soon. We didn't know then that Kompany was a better centre half than he was a midfielder. But the worst thing was his departure gave games to Nedum who really was shite.

Water under the bridge now but he wasn't "lampooned" or "ridiculed" he was fucking crucified at the time (that's my recollection).

I think most people were giving a fair assessment, a lot of it reflected in the current thread.

I hated watching him play in the later years & was delighted to see him go.

Absolute fucking buffoon of a player & typical of the kind of clown fans over here used to deify. Earlier, next to Distin, he had a couple of very good seasons & one in particular, he was top class, but prior to that he was a fat drunken waste of fucking space taking money off us under false pretences. He owed us every single decent performance, for the time he spent stealing a living.

Wish him all the best for his retirement, but having players like him & Barton as our 'heroes' just showed what a pathetic state we were in at the time.

What a miserable load of angry bitter pious bollocks. The worst part is the smug "typical of the kind of clown fans over here used to deify" shite... Did you turn up at games just to spit and rage just because we didn't have Baresi?!

I absolutely love Dunney: He turned it around while still a young man and it says it all that he's going on as a pro well into his mid-30s. He also played more games than anyone (except Goater) during the unbelievably brilliant 01/02 season which I will never forget. If you think that was "pathetic", then you're a red.

The most underrated thing about him was his straight line pace - loved the site of him rumbling down on some startled winger who'd foolishly knocled it towards the corner:

Players with no talent who look as if they are doing their best, are typical icons from the past in English football. Dunne is one of those imo. But he was also the one who would get sent off when desperately needed, or give up & seem to lose all heart when things didn't go his way.

You are entitled to have enjoyed watching him, I am entitled to have hated it, which I did; really really hated watching him play football. Imo he was fucking horrible. No need for any insults because I feel that way. Grow up.

[carl_feedthegoat]

He was mostly shit in an average side and I remember very clearly spitting at the telly when he fucked up...which was a lot.

On a side note ,any players that Niall Quins Disco pants liked ??...maybe he will come and post again after a years sabatical.

Again with the "better than, smarter than, more insightful than, more mature than bollocks..." You can't flap around for the "no need for insults" moral high ground when you're belittling everyone in sight.

City fans - a load of pathetic wankers deifying a spineless, heartless, talentless, dishonest, drunken, fat, fucking clownfoon because they're too stupid to see what you, Ted Hughes, see so clearly, when they watch their "heroes"... But wait, he did have a couple of good seasons (and one where he somehow stepped up from horrible shithouse to "top class") just in case anyone tries to outflank you by disagreeing.

You're welcome to the last word. Enjoy your summer.
