A little too much information, pal. You should have restricted your list to those players most have heard of. You might also have included the exact location and timings.

Keith 'no madam it's not a third leg' Dublin, Gary 'Maltese International' Chivers and Clive 'Flash' Walker...worth the entrance fee to see these Brighton and Hove Albion late 80s / early 90s legends...even if they are turning out for Chelsea

You're just upset because they couldn't scrape together a team of City legends!

6. Manchester United

1. Russell Beardsmore (was ugliest player at Utd until Luke Chadwick)
2. Clayton Blackmore (1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup, 1 Premier League)
3. Peter Davenport (Was shite, poor replacement for Mark Hughes)
4. Fraser Digby (only ever a reserve but a Swindon legend)
5. Deiniol Graham (scored one goal then disappeared)
6. Lou Macari (True legend, for his football and for his chippy)
7. Giuliano Mairoana (Shite)
8. Lee Martin (1 FA Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup)
9. David May (2 FA Cup, 1 Champions League, 3 Premier League)
10. Ben Thornley (Cracking youth player, Nicky Marker screwed his career)
11. Neil Webb (1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup - injury and his gobshite wife blighted his career at Utd)


So a fair few medals there, a few more I suspect than players in light blue have had in the last 34 years.
