The Maine Road Ramble and Manc and a Yank Podcast teamed up for a crossover that spans across all eras of Manchester City, drafting a starting eleven from the all-time greats in the club's history!

Kevin Nelson and Andrew Dettmer are joined by Jon Ashley and Joe Ricci to compile the best lineups imaginable, with the picks ranging from Eric Brook all the way to Gabriel Jesus. 

The rules are simple. In a snake draft format, select eleven players that can reasonably play a position based on their experience in a reasonable formation (no 1-1-8's allowed!). The draft picks are being evaluated on their best sustained version while playing for City, so picking Frank Lampard does not get you the peak Chelsea years. Finally, each selection must have played at least 10 first team senior matches with the club.

Simple enough, right? Yet it was actually more of a difficult exercise than we all thought trying to rank the litany of City legends while maneuvering around the plans and stolen picks of our competitors. Ultimately, this was an incredibly fun episode to prepare for and record, but YOU will be the ultimate decider for who among us drafted the greatest team. After you listen, head over to Twitter and look for a poll on both of our respective profiles (@MaineRoadRamble and @MancAndAYankPod) to cast your vote on who the champion of the Completely Unofficial All Time Manchester City Draft is!
