Often on here I see best ever City XI's but haven't come across a worst ever side. I first started going in 1990 so please forgive any omissions from before that time but here is my selection:
1. Capleton
2. Trevor O'Brien
3. We've always had good LBs
4. Hague
5. Carr
6. Wimbleton
7. Shaw
8. Liam O'Brien
9. Dobbs
10.Iorfa
11.Summerbell
Subs:
The four Bulgarians
Brooking
O'Connell
Jody Jody what's the score?
Manager: Colin Murphy
Tommy don't be so modest ;) you're in instead of Dobbs!
I had a feeling my username would come back to bite me in the arse tbh! I always had a soft spot for him for some reason, remember him getting two good goals in a 3-1 win at home to Pats just before Rico resigned, Gareth got the other from a free in front of the Shed
In fairness Tommy you weren't the worst ;) . But Dobbsie also got a few cracking goals so I wouldn't put him in! One of the worst ever forwards was a small Scotish guy who played a few games in 92? I think. He was so crap I can't even remember his name!Quote:

Paul Hague was a legend.
:D
I think Gaynor was one of the most skilful players to ever play for City. Had a good goalscoring record as well. Lazy as sin though.Quote:

Spent most of his time in an off-side position from what I can remember :eek:Quote:

Although I believe he was fairly handy with his head on a certain away European tie :D
dont think we'll ever forget his winner against rovers a few years back,when we went 2-0 down and won 3-2. That was one of the best atmospheres at the cross ive ever been part of.
I was way too harsh on him really. What I meant was that I don't think he was played to the best of his abilities in Cork. I used to hate the sight of him before he signed for us. High balls into someone of his size was just plain daft. That Rovers game was just pure magic..... :D
Does anyone have any other contenders for positions on the Worst XI, esp a left-back? And can anyone remember that Scottish lad's name?
put jason kabia in the team as well.probably noel hartigoal as well.
How can you leave out Steve Gaughan?!?
Surely Robbie Hedderman is a contender for the left-back spot?
god yeah , big ears :DQuote:

Before you slag these players off, cast your mind back to April 4th 1998 when both of these lads combined superbly in the demolition of Athlone in the Cup semi final, Hartigan getting the opener and Kabia then getting 2. People have short memories.Quote:

hartigan when he was up front, didn't seem to even try had.He was very frustrating to watch.i suppose gunther sticking with him was the most frustrating.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Summerbell get 3 goals in 4 games ( from midfield at that ) in his loan spell. He went on to play 28 games for Middlesborough, scoring 2 goals.

He seems to be unattached at the moment -any takers?
If you are the Tommy Gaynor that played for City, Forest, Limerick, Rovers to name the ones I know then you were a class act and would certainly push for to be in the best City 11 not the worst. To be fair City have signed some incredibly poor players but more recent managers have got their act together, and there is a really decent squad of players up there. All they need to do is get a few home wins and you guys will win the league. You have a great club up there, support is second to none and a great stadium.
Great result tonight, hopefully the home wins will come.
Don't forget to support us down the road, the league could do with a couple of Cork Derby's during the season
Well I'm not the actual Tommy Gaynor, as the song goes, this is just a tribute. I'll actually be going to see Ramblers play away to Limerick in a fortnight, as I'm in UL and will be staying up during the exams
question now is.........is this the real eddie o halloran????Quote:
