Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) It’s so difficult to choose a favourite ever city player, but to have 2 of my all time favourites in the same team and create such special memories was just magic. What a time to be a city fan watching Wes and Holty do their stuff. Holt definitely undervalued by the PL and by whoever the idiot England manager was at the time Edited July 24, 2020 by Fiery Zac 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WD40 720 Posted July 24, 2020 *11 years ago. If you’re just going to repost information we can see on the club channels/pinkun at least read em! Quality player though. What we would have given to have him up front this season bullying and winding up defenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proper footballer, or as it's called now 'brexit footballer' Billy Sharp wishes he was as talented as Holt, he's just a BTEC version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted July 24, 2020 I know it was a decade ago but him and Ricky Lambert shows what talent can be lurking in the lower division, not always got to be youngsters either, learned their trade the hard way and busting for a chance at a higher level. I admire our signings of youth but i would also like to give a chance to the odd lower league player who has a consistent record Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted July 24, 2020 I was reading Grant Holt's autobiography today (which is a very good read). He was telling the story of the Colchester 7-1 game with Theoklitos having a howler. He said that he walked out with him after the game, Theoklitos's phone rang and he dropped it 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted July 25, 2020 Pretty tippy tappy play has its place but it also exciting to watch a wide player get the ball into the box for the big centre forward to get on the end of. 9 out of 10 times Holty would be on the end of it. A decent all round footballer too. We were lucky to have had him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big but great with the ball at his feet, definitely not slow and read the game so well. Legend is used too often these days but he genuinely is one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
