Throughout Dec and Jan it was parked almost permanently in the Winterstoke Rd car park, so much so that I figured he must be squatting in the concourse each night. Which coach - Peter Carol?

Lee Miller had a Honda S2000 and I think he had a personalised plate but I'm f****d if I can remember. Steve Phillips had the famous S70PPA reg (should have been F74PPA) but can't remember his car. David James had a tricked up Ford Focus ST. And the winner was... Scott Murray in a CANARY YELLOW Renault Megane soft top. A shocking car. Was Lee Miller's S1TTA?

Olé Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Wayne Allison drove an old Ford Escort the season he scored 20+ goals and was valued at £1m. You could not get more grounded and down to earth than the Chief. Puts most modern footballers to shame. Do we have to start another thread to discuss players who get the bus? Didn't Greg Goodridge used to get the number 24 to the ground? And one of our more recent foreign players from memory too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He nearly ran over me and two mates on park street just before Christmas. He did stop to check we were ok. I know he's not a good driver. I played with him at last years BCFC Golf Charity Day!!

spudski Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 This thread, reminded me of a story about sports cars and footballers having lower back pain and hamstring problems after driving them. Ryan Giggs was the most prominent one. Interesting story here, about training, injuries and how to avoid them. I wonder if Matthews, GoN and Smith do these types of exercises and warm ups. I have noticed that over the years our subs don't do enough warming up...as the article says...they should be sweating before they come on. So many come on cold...it can't help with injuries. It would make sense to me, to have a warm up coach at the side of the pitch with the subs, organising stretching and exercises to keep muscles warm. Something teams neglect imo. It doesn't make sense to have Subs sat there watching, then job for a minute and then expected to come on and explode into action. That's surely an injury waiting to happen... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/1793521.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was between around 2003-2008. Saw plenty coming into the place, worked on a few of them too. When players/staff signed, they'd sometimes be in that very same week. The likes of Nick Carle and Gary Johnson to name only two. Also remember David Cotterill getting himself a swish motor when he broke through. Somebody seemed quick to put you down on this; not exactly wrong there @Robbored They are not leased via the club. The contract would be in the players name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Around the time Leroy Lita burst on the scene a rusted, clapped out, white ford escort van started appearing in the Atyeo car park and promptly disappeared when he was sold. In mine and my dad's minds, this was conclusive evidence that Leroy Lita drove a little van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City when he was 15 (?) and was there for the hat trick at Old Trafford. Very talented and a natural eye for goal. Thrived alongside Joe Royle. A friend is a Palace fan and rates KM as one of their best signings. Sadly plagued by injury and forced to pack up too early. Think he lived in Leigh Woods.
