Players you've completely forgotten about

Jack Butland? Had a pretty high stock a few years back and talk of a £30m plus price tag.

Should be in his prime at 28, but now just a back up keeper for Palace and probably won’t play more than ten games a season.

That's one big pile of shit.

There was a time when City had to be one of the worst pound for pound league sides in the world around here. Stuart Peace. Corradi. Samaras. Some proper proper proper shite.

Went about 5 years without scoring a goal at game or something.

Sorry to say it too but Vassell was a terrible terrible footballer. Wouldn't get a sniff of PL football or an England cap nowadays.

Football really has evolved rapidly the last 10 years.

That was the end of Eriksson season at City, and that was his last game.  That was when they had some money  under Shinawatra but nothing like now. The players had given up by then and they finished 9th. They then got taken over in the summer and you know the rest.

his wiki is a proper treasure trove of blasts from the pasts and interesting snippets as to what could have been

Read a good article about him recently. Alcoholism and depression have played a big part but good to see he is doing well now.
