| Nick Weaver |
Man City
Born: 3/02/79
Hometown: Sheffield |
| Since arriving at Maine Road from Mansfield Town as a virtual unknown during the 1996/97 season the present England Under-21 international keeper has earned rave reviews.A tall and commanding goalkeeper, Weaver didn't always earn the plaudits and he had to endure a difficult spell during Manchester City's promotion run in during the 1999/2000 campaign.At the height of Joe Royle's men vying for an automatic promotion spot Weaver conceded a couple of soft goals in a vital home game against QPR that City lost 3-1.Despite fierce criticism questioning the keeper's ability, his manager stood by him and declared that the vital saves made by his highly-rated young goalkeeper had played a large part in taking Manchester City towards the summit of the first division.The summer of 2000 witnessed Weaver distinguishing himself for his country in the European Under-21 championships in Slovakia and confirming his undoubted potential as a future England number one. |
