List of Manchester City F.C. players (25–99 appearances)
Manchester City Football Club, then known as Ardwick, first entered the Football Alliance in the 1891–92 season. In 1892, the Football League decided to expand, and invited the Alliance clubs to join; having chosen not to apply for entry into the First Division, Ardwick were placed in the newly formed Second Division. In April 1894 Ardwick became Manchester City, following the creation of "Manchester City Football Club Ltd." as a limited company. The club's first team have competed in numerous nationally and internationally organised competitions, and all players who have played  between 25 and 99 such matches, either as a member of the starting eleven or as a substitute, are listed below. Each player's details include the duration of his Manchester City career, his typical playing position while with the club, and the number of games played and goals scored in domestic league matches and in all senior competitive matches. Where applicable, the list also includes the national team for which the player was selected, and the number of senior international caps he won while playing for the club. The names are ordered first by number of appearances in total , then by date of debut. Introduction. More than 290 players have represented Manchester City in at least 25 and fewer than 100 competitive first team matches. A number of the players listed achieved firsts or milestones for the club. David Weir, who captained the club in the Ardwick era, was the first England international to play for the club. Canadian Walter Bowman was the first international from outside the British Isles to play in the Football League. Denis Law, Steve Daley and Robinho were all signed for transfer fees that broke the British transfer fee record. Marc-Vivien Foé scored  the last ever goal by a Manchester City player at the club's Maine Road ground in April 2003, just two months before his death, when he collapsed during an international match. The first competitive goal at the new City of Manchester Stadium was scored by Trevor Sinclair in August 2003. Several listed players won medals while at the club. Herbert Burgess and George Livingstone both played in the 1904 FA Cup Final that brought Manchester City's first major trophy. Laurie Barnett won the Cup in 1934, Jack Dyson scored in the 1956 final, and Mario Balotelli, Patrick Vieira  and Adam Johnson all took part in the club's 2011 FA Cup victory. Ken Mulhearn kept goal for the majority of the 1967–68 league championship winning season, and Ian Bowyer was part of the team that won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1970. Several members of the squads that won five Premier League titles between 2012 and 2021 are listed. Three of these players are still contracted to the club and may add to their current totals. Key.
