All a massive part of my childhood / early adulthood - all gave me the best memories. City don't have piss me off at times, but no other club could have given me all these, and 100s of others who I've not mentioned Stevie Neville and Glyn Riley for me as well - used to get birthday cards from them when I was in the Junior Reds. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe i am correct in saying that when we bought him he had his leg in plaster. True boyhood hero of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Close call between Gerry Gow and Paul Cheesley for me. As I've got older I don't see players in the same way I did as a youngster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bob Taylor, Gary Shelton, Glyn Riley, Dave Smith, and obviously Walshy would have to be my top five! But closely followed by Joe Jordon, Tinnion, Jacki, Rennie, and Neville. Totally agree with Woodsy, the questions too hard!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure his commitment can be judged? Everytime he went on the pitch he was easily our most commited player! Just because he enjoyed one to many pints of Guinness doesn't mean he wasn't commited.

Committment to the life of a professional athlete. Committment to make the best of his abilities. Mind you, not many of his team-mates did either.

Wheatus is back Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 5 hours ago, Major Isewater said: Hot on the heels of my last thread , how about your favourite City player ? The lad for whom you have, or had, a real affinity with. We will have have lots of votes for the Warrior ,Gerry Gow ,evidently but what about the others ? A player who helped out a charity of yours or carried your mum's shopping for instance . For me it was Bob Taylor . Yes arise Sir Bob . We always had a chance of getting something out of a game when he played . I met him before a game away at Notts County and he was free with his time, chatted about stuff and signed my programme ( still got it ) Top bloke. Norman Hunter , With Gerry Gow a very close second . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry may Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 As a kid John Galley. Then................. One day my kids were coming home from school ( Caldicot Comp ) when they told me somewhat excitedly they had just seen Matty Hill running around the school playing field . Didn;t believe them for a minute , until about a week later I saw him out running. .turns out Matt had purchased a house at the bottom of our road in Caldicot. A genuinely decent bloke. After one City game , my good mate Vespa Red bumped into him on the saturday evening in the local shop. Matt stopped him and asked him how he thought he had played !
