Flint's goal

Just seen a still photo of this goal and, unlike lot of tall players, he gets well off the ground. So many tall players, particularly defenders, just stand and wait for the ball.

Older fans may be reminded of another big (clue) City goal scorer who leapt like that. High praise but, I think, deserved.

My first season was the 1964/65 promotion season. Didn't Big John , Brian Clark and Bobby Williams score more than 20 goals each or is the old memory playing up?

Atyeo and Clarke certainly did. IIRC the Shadow scored about 10. He was one of the few players who had a real nickname. You can still start an argument among City fans of a certain age by mentioning his name. FWIW I thought he was brilliant.

Just a straw poll, but I wonder how many who answered saw Atyeo play?

I'm not old enough to have seen him play Aiz but saw the Cheese play many a time. If Atyeo was better in the air than PC, he must have been incredible as PC was awesome! What a career he had ahead of him only to see it taken away so cruelly? :(
