Top 10 EVER Manchester City Players – No. 9

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!*

NUMBER 9 >>>

Richard Dunne

2000 – Present – Countless appearances, countless number of goals (unfortunately more in the wrong net!)

 

In many ways, Dunne personifies Manchester City Football, the good, the bad and the damn right ugly! At his imperious best he is a rock and will let nothing past, but at his worst he can be comically bad. However it’d be daft to overlook the fact that he has won an unprecedented four back-to-back awards for being player of the season.

 

Some of you will be thinking perhaps a surprising choice given his recent calamitous form. Personally I think he’s on a one-man crusade to top the number of own goals and red cards a player can achieve in a season as he knows ‘Superman’ Ireland will snatch the ‘Player of the Year’ award from him! 

 

Dunne is superb in the air against every type of oponent and has made thousands of last ditch challenges to keep City in vital matches. Therefore he gets placed in my top ten at number nine!
