 Scoring ten goals in six games, Quinn inspired City to a 5–1 win over Liverpool in December, followed by a 3–0 result against Aston Villa.The fans warmed to Quinn instantly, using the chant "He's fat, he's round, he scores at every ground" in reference to his alleged overweight status.The season finished disappointingly with just one win from the last eleven games, slumping from a possible European place to finish 15th but the club were never in relegation danger.
