Curr Avon Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 One of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Get well soon, Trevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 The most underrated player in our rise to the top league. Never looked out of place playing against the top teams in the country. And very rarely did he give the ball away. With him and Gerry in our midfield we always looked strong. Just a shame he didn't shoot more,he could hit a ball!! Good luck Trevor hope you recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started work as an apprentice for BDR (working with my old man) and someone who in my eyes is definitely a City legend. Get well soon, Trev.

Aizoon Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I saw him score a hat-trick in a 2-1 victory... The OG was a cracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Important member of the first team I watched, very under rated player. Get well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Remember he sent me a fully autographed squad photo after the entire team sat on our wall after the official coach broke down. Was also a regular of my local hairdresser. Cracking fellow. All the best for a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsung heroes like Trevor Tainton are the ones who allow others to have the limelight. TT was the cement that held that team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Every player in that side was a great one and deserves to be held in very high esteem by all of us. Get well soon TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerRed Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I also echo all of the above. He was always a favourite for me as he made in debut as a 19-year-old on the night I made mine, clinging to the railings at the front of the Open End. Tainton went on to play more than 550 matches for City. Get well soon Trevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Probably the most underrated player we ever had. Solid 7/10 every game who would have been even better had he played more frequently in centre mid instead of on the right. Get well soon Trevor.

wendyredredrobin Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Great player and also a really good bloke by all accounts. I remember watching him in the second division and whilst good in div 2 he was one player I didn't think would make it at the higher level in Div 1. How he proved me wrong.

Davefevs Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Get well soon Trev. I played adozen or so games with Trevor in my youth and his latter days for imperial Bristol in the mid/late 80s. A true gent, who loved playing. His father used to come to watch him play too. Just did the simple things well...underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy114 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Top bloke and a bloody good skittler in the Thornbury league. He always found time to chat about the old days whenever I played against him. I bet he gets fed up with that. Get well soon Trev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Fortunately these days heart attacks do not spell doom as they used to especially if treated quickly. Nowadays you can have stents fitted, artificial heart valves, pacemakers, heart bypasses (single, double, treble and even quadruple these days) and lots more. Nowadays, most will make a pretty full recovery. Whilst a heart attack is not nice, there are a lot worse things that can happen (e.g. Gerry Gow - RIP Gerry). I'm sure Trevor will be as good as new in a short time and enjoying life again for another few decades. Get well soon Taints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alandicks Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 My hero as a child and had the good fortune to play against him when he had finished as a professional. A gentleman on and off the field. get well soon Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
