SHOW NOTES
- [x] Briefly tell us about your time at United
- PNE (1997- 2002):
- [x] David Moyes signed you. Thoughts on David?
- [x] Highlights at Preston? You missed the 2001 Football League First Division play-off Final – why?
- [x] Dan Fielden - How did he feel scoring from the half way line against city when playing for Preston, and we’re you aware of city's interest at that point
- [x] Chris - Preston finished 3 points outside the play off places. You could have helped them get to the Premier League, played week in week out, become a real club legend...why then did you decide to join City to effectively be a back up striker?
- [x] Move to City February 2002 for 5 million.
- [x] Macken moved to City in February 2002, for a fee of £5 million.
- [x] Did the transfer price affect you in any way? Does it tend to do with players?
- [x] Being signed by a giant of the game like Keegan has to be good for the ego?
- [ ] Initial thoughts on signing for City as a Blackley lad and being once a United player?
- [x] Garry Cook maintains that the facilities at Carrington were awful – what was your experience?
- [x] When you joined there was some absolute City greats there: https://www.transfermarkt.com/manchester-city/startseite/verein/281?saison_id=2001 Initial thoughts?
- Berkovic
- Benarbia
- SWP
- Goater
- [x] Your 2nd and first full season Anelka joined. Fowler. Distin. https://www.transfermarkt.com/manchester-city/startseite/verein/281?saison_id=2002
- [x] 3rd season at City: https://www.transfermarkt.com/manchester-city/startseite/verein/281?saison_id=2003
- [x] 4th season and Keegan’s departure: https://www.transfermarkt.com/manchester-city/startseite/verein/281?saison_id=2004
- [x] Moved to Palace
- [ ] How do you sum up your time at City? Highs and lows? : FA CUP game /
- [x] 14th march 16years ago 2004 versus United 4-1.
- [ ] Promotion with City – 108 goals. Injuries? Fowler/Anelka joining?
- [ ] Mine has to be the 2004 F.A cup fourth round reply between Spurs and Man City. Spurs were leading 3-0 at half time and Joey Barton had been sent off (unusual I know). Man City came back with a last minute winner from Jon Macken. Incredible game to witness live.
- [x] United/Arsenal were on another planet football wise but considering our squad, do you feel that we underperformed?
- [ ] An absolute City legend in your time there is Shaun Wright Phillips. Thoughts on his evolution as a player?
