To the layman it may look like Chinese defender Sun Jihai had an unremarkable career in Manchester, but that's not the opinion of the folks at the Football Museum, who have inducted him into their Hall of Fame.
Unfortunately not everybody appreciates his brilliance, with Labour's shadow minister for sport Clive Efford saying: "This devalues our entire Hall of Fame. It is corruption worthy of (FIFA President) Sepp Blatter.
“How will all those other players feel when they see Sun Jihai is up there with the rest of them?"
Sure, 130 league appearances in eight years doesn't put him in the same company as the likes of Denis Law or even Richard Dunne, but his influence on the game will be felt for decades to come.
What, you think they would just induct a random Chinese defender who just happened to play for Man City for no reason?
