10) Fred Tilson

Fred Tilson was an English footballer born in 1904 and started his scoring career off in Barnsley’s youth team, before moving up to the first team squad. Tilson joined Manchester City in 1928 in a move that was very unique for the time, a double-player swoop by City. Tilson joined the club at the same time as icon Eric Brook, costing the team a combined £6,000.

Tilson joined City with nothing guaranteed, although his transfer was what you would consider “big money” 1928, you could make the argument that the majority of the fee was for securing Eric Brook from Barnsley and not Tilson. Tilson did not let the fairly stacked City depth chart get him down, and after playing only sparsely his first season, he went on to score 132 goals in all appearances for the club over the next 11 years.

Just as several others on this list, Tilson had a road in central Manchester named after him in 1977, and is remembered as a legend to this day.
