In the closest vote in our 'Greatest' series, Kinkladze picked up 27 per cent of the vote to take the honours ahead of Colin Bell (18 per cent) and Francis Lee (13 per cent).
Kinkladze spent three seasons at Maine Road between 1995 and 1998, and in two of those City were relegated. Yet the little Georgian's magical feet and loyalty after City dropped out of the Premier League earned him a special place in the hearts of the fans.
Attacking midfielder Bell played a significant role in the club's most successful spell, winning a League title, FA Cup, League Cup and Cup-Winners' Cup.
Lee was also part of that glorious side, winning the title in his first season and maintaining his goalscoring feats throughout seven years at the club.
