The imposing figure of Nicky Weaver arrived at Maine Road towards the end of the 95/96 season to strengthen the club's goalkeeping staff.
He came from Mansfield Town though had made very few appearances for the reserve side. The young keeper had joined Mansfield on trainee forms and his prowess had came to the notice of Alex Stepney who realised he would be a worthwhile City investment.
A Wembley hero and will forever be remembered for his run around the stadium on the final whistle in the famous Play-Off Final win over Gillingham.
Injuries have blighted much of Nicky's City career but even after all his setbacks 'Weavs' is still a valued member of Stuart Pearce's squad and after missing most of the 2005 pre-season some solid performances for the reserves have reminded everyone of Nicky's capabilities.
Nicky returned to Sheffield in November 2005, joining Sheffield Wednesday on a six-week loan deal, acting as cover for the injured David Lucas. Returned in January 2006 after playing 14 times for the Owls.
