Did you ever watch Franklin? Possibly, Bayern, but I was only 9 when he left. That's 67 years ago. I think I've had Weetabix for breakfast this morning, but I only think I have.  OS. |

Abdoulaye Faye was absolutely immense. That first season in the Prem, he was as good a centre half I've ever seen. Imperious. During his career at Stoke he made so many defensive errors. Fortunate for him during Pulis tactics there was always another Stoke player close by to cover. He had no pace and consequently was quickly got rid of when management aspired to playing more open football. No one could question his physicality and commitment but " the best centre half" you have seen at Stoke????? |

And deservedly picked up both Player of the Seaon and Players' players of the season awards. |

We have had some fantastic centre backs over the years.
Bluto, Denis, Watson, Bouldy, Vinny and Cranny, Larus, Gerry, Ryan, Abdy, Huth.
I've possibly missed a couple!! Big Bren, Georgie Berry ??
For me, the ones I liked best have been, Denis, Abdy and Huth. I like Ryan immensely, but there is just something I like more about the others.
Of the worst, Dyson was a disaster, Wolly must be on the list. How about Ben Petty?

Imo
1) mike doyle
2) dennis smith
3) our lord
We were slightly unlucky to get mike doyle at the very end of his career, but priviledged to have him at all( he turned down man utd to join us)
Every man city fan I know ( all 3 of them!) rates him as the clubs best ever player. He was dennis smith in the tackle, bobby moore with the ball at his feet.
Don't know how shawcross and huth didn't get on that list? Because together as a pairing they were brilliant :-)
