Trevor Sinclair admits he has regrets over his time with Manchester City.
The former England international delivered some special moments, scoring in two Manchester derby victories, but the 48-year-old still feels his desire to succeed had a negative impact on his game.
“I think that was one of the things that affected my performance, as well as the injuries, when I was at City," he told mancity.com.
“I almost tried too hard. I'm not taking away anything from my times at West Ham, QPR, Blackpool and Cardiff, but I think I wanted it too much at City.
“I wanted to be a success so much and sometimes that had a negative effect on my performances.
“Obviously, having the history in the city with my friends and family, everyone would be there.
“Prior to that I'd been at Blackpool where nobody cared because I was in the fourth division and then I was in London for 10 years.
“It was an emotional thing which, looking back, I would have liked to have dealt with better.
“It was obviously because I had fond feelings for the Club and I wanted to do as well as I could, but it didn't play out like that."
