Bellers for me.

Nobody was too enthusastic when we signed him, but he works like a trooper for the team. Every time he plays he gives 100% for the full 90 minutes. If all the players put in a shift like him we wouldn't be in seventh position.

God growing up there was just so many, David White, Niall Quinn, Uwe Rosler, Tony Cotton, Ian Bishop, Paul Walsh and later on Shaun Goater, Andy Morrison, Ali B.

My all time fav would be The Goat, tech not the most gifted but played with a smile on his face and comes across as a genuine nice person. Scored loads of important goals and I will always remenber him for that.

Of the current bunch I love SWP and have really taken to Bellers and Shay.

Ireland is my fav right now.

SWP used to be before he left (glad he's back but it's not the same).

Benarbia was a short fling.

Quinn was a big part of my becoming a blue.

Kinky made sure I stayed blue for life.

P.S. I'd love to see Onouha and Weiss make it AND not turn into big time charlies in the process. I hope Richards stays and becomes a better player and that Johnson will be bringing his big smiles back before the end of the season. And I hope Hart can make it - of them all I think he has the least chance - just harder for keepers. Oh and I nearly forgot Caicedo...I am still hoping this kid will make it... and as far far fetched as t sounds ...with us. As I'm at it I'd love to see the following in the FA Cup after Christmas
...............Given..............
Richards Onouha Lescott Bridge
.....Ireland Barry Johnson .....
Weiss ......Caicedo ......Tevez

I'm diggin all the love for our Bellers. He deserves it. Hes a fuckin maniac, a leader and a simply brilliant football. Speed, skill, touch, finishing and a will to win and compete like ive never seen in a blue shirt before. Did anyone ever foresee what a complete hero this guy was gonna become here when he signed? I seem to remember, me included, that everyone was pissing and moaning at what a twat he is.
When we go on to win trophy's over the next few years he's gonna score some big goals for us. Mark my words. Craig Bellamy is gonna be an all time City legend!! I bet no-one saw that coming 2 years ago!

My fave all time player is Quinny. My first footballing hero. Never ever forget the Derby game when he scored a volly from outside the box, then went in net when Coton got sent off and saved a Dean Saunders Penalty!! He was a God to me ever since was big Niall.

Fave now is Robson. Without doubt the best player ive ever seen in blue.

I got really hooked during the 79/80 season, so I'm going for a player that epitomized the genius and madness of Malcolm Allison at the time - Michael Robinson. Bought as an uknown youngster from Preston for £756 000, he showed that Allison had an eye for a player as he went on and won the trophies including the European cup. Sadly it wasn't for City who sold him with a loss after a season. But he scored on derby day in a game we won. Henry got the other. Got to mention Tommy Caton too.

Quinny was my first City hero.

Kinky is my all time.

Bellamy and Superman at the moment.

In days gone by it has to be Dennis Tueart (mainly because he scored that goal). Current season: our very own pitbull, Nigel de Jong.

It's hard to choose for me, but I'd say Superman and Bellers share it. Just right behind them come SWP and Tevez, who is still relatively new to the club so he's not the favourite yet but he might be in the future. Adebayor and Robinho are tied behind them, but all of them are very close.

definately Robinho for me.. as long as he doesn't leave next month. Weiss will be my new favorite as soon as he breaks in.
