Bosvelt was excellent for us. I loved watching him play, he read the game brilliantly and was even better than Hamann at buying a foul.

Also had a unique record in that in his 6 seasons at City he always played in a different division each year
1997/8 - Relegated to League 2 (League 1 as it is now)
1998/9 - Promoted to League 1 (p/offs)
1999/00 - Promoted to Prem
2000/01 - Relegated to League1
2001/02 - Promoted to Prem
2002/03 - Played in Prem again and left
A rather unique City career, at a time when the club was up and down like a whores knickers on a sailors payday.
