Sweeneys Penalties Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I can think of a few local 'uns who have played for Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea. I can even think of Peter Spiring who left to join Liverpool. Didn't Ralph Milne leave City to arrive at Man U (not that he could be called local) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I was wondering whether in the last 25 years more Bristolians have played for Bristol City than Mancunians have played for Man U? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 More to the point, how many Bristolians have played against that gert big team. For sure Kevin Mabbutt. Merrick, Rodgers was Tainton a Bristol Boy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Who were the last two players to score league hat-tricks at Old Trafford? Last was Denis Bailey of QPR in early 1980's. He had previously been on loan at the unmentionables. Kevin Mabbutt in 1978-9 for City. I was there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Joe did the Stadium Tour a few year back (cough, spit). There’s a bit where you go into the tunnel, they put the music on and you split into two lines, and walk out onto the pitch like the real players do on match days. Of course, all of the people on the tour are Man U fans, except me. The guy doing the tour made a fuss of Joe and asked him to lead out the home "team", and when he asked me to stand behind Joe, I confessed to being a Liverpool fan, so I headed up the queue of the away ‘team"....all 3 of us versus 20 of "them"!

wendyredredrobin Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Trevor Tainton went to the same school ad me. I know I've sold petrol too him and Gerry Gow too (and Richard Cottrell if anyone can remember him on HTV). I do believe that Trevor had a brother called Tony who was a decent egg chaser. Trevor was the only member of the promotion team that I didn't think would make it in the top flight. He did make it and exceeded my expectations considerably.

I don't think this is true, I think remember watching Dirk Kuyt score a hat-trick there (1-4), and could be wrong but didn't Lukaku score a hat-trick there when he was at West Brom?
