This blog is designed to choose the greatest ever Manchester City player in my opinion (remember I am only young!). I shall publish one of these every now and again until finally we reach the best player ever to have embraced Maine Road or The City of Manchester Stadium! *DRUM ROLL PLEASE!* NUMBER5 >>>Niall Quinn219 appearances, Derek Jeter Jersey 77 goals in a 6 year spell from 1990 1996Niall Quinn was a player idolised by fans during a six-yearspell in Manchester. First J.A. Happ Jersey impre sions were of a tall, gangling sort of striker but supporters quickly realised he had much more to offer thanhis height! He had a tremendous first touch that would rival the likes of Robinho, his skill was better than Ronaldos, his cro s-field balls better than Xabi Alonsos, the work rate ofFrankLampard and Steven Gerrard put togetherand a finish sharper than striker Fernando Torres could produce. In his Miguel Andujar Jersey first season, Quinn became a firm fans favourite, earning the Player of the Year tag during his second season. This was a thoroughly deserved award and proved that the fans appreciated his enthusiasm and pa sion for the clib. Despite moving to Sunderland in 1996, Niall has remained a true hero in Manchester, and as they say Once a Blue, Always a Blue!. The sight of Niall running along the touchline with more pace thanSWP (with a broken leg!)remained an enduring image of his determination and love of the Blues.One reason he remains a favourite is because he went in goal and saved a penalty from Dean Saunders in 1991! Whats more, from Andy Pettitte Jersey the resulting corner, he bowled over a few players and made a one-handed catch! Brilliant!He arrived as a kid who couldnt get into the Arsenal side, but left he had become a full international and a legend in the eyes of many fans. His time was a delight for the majority and he will always be remembered for his willingne s to support the Blue cause, whilst his role as a target man come keeper provided Aaron Judge Jersey much enjoyment.Whats more, his disco pants now are mentioned in lots of songs still sung at CoMS which shows how much we honour this superb player. |
