roddy-d Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Still to this day I remember him running for goal. He had two defenders in front of him. He never went round he was on his own. He just stepped over the ball flicked it over his head ran through the middle of them while they was watching the ball. I do wish he scored that day. Cause till this day I've never seen anyone do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Let's be completely honest guys.. when the going got tough, Jacki went missing. I'll never forget being a 10 year old and watching in tears as the blue cloggers tonked us 4-0 at Trumpton. Jacki may as well not have been on the pitch that day. He was an absolutely wonderful talent but I do think people are being selective with their memory. For every dazzling performance, there were just as many anonymous ones.

The guy was like a lazier Tomlin. I'm sorry he was the archetypal talented waster . I'm sure he's a great bloke now though. Between Jacki and Tomlin, I know who I'd rather share a pint with, and who speaks the better English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause till this day I've never seen anyone do that. Was that down close to the touch line in front of the Williams? I have vivid memories of him doing that. What people fail to realise is that football was different in those days. Great in many ways but also a bit more grey in others and supporting City meant low expectations. Someone like Jackie playing for City was mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking back was something every other player bar Jackie did. Like JET - a wasted talent. Toss up between the two for that unwanted label.

Swindle had a left back called Trollope with a blond hair who slaughtered City at AG. Must have been late 60s or early 70s. I'd certainly never seen anything like that before. Now it's expected.

Jack Dawe Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 1 hour ago, GrahamC said: Everyone knows my view, I was a virtual ever present in those days and so know what I saw. It’s all about opinions, isn’t it? Nothing more to add. I know, I know, deep down, logically speaking, in the cold light of day: £250k = 7 goals and little effort is a poor return. But, Jacki was a symptom of the malaise at AG, not a cause. He didn't recruit or sign himself to the club, or pick himself in the team. And, we went from crowds of 11500 (quite a lot at that time) when he helped keep us up, to 8k after he had gone. Then 7k a year later, in L1. Dziekanowski brought people to AG. And a few quid back into the "coffers." People bang on about atmosphere now, there was plenty when he was on fire. That Portsmouth game had more "atmosphere" than a season of football in 2018 (I'm veering off into the poetical, now, and nostalgia. I need to remember the facts, too). For some people, football is, or was, about being lifted out of the mundane and seeing something brilliant or exciting. A bit of magic. DD provided a couple of those moments. We got back to the mundane alright pretty soon after he buggered off. And we lost at Trumpton every time, although never as badly as that 0:4, granted (but 1990 wasn't far off). He was, though, for many, but not all, a little bit of glamour and magic at a rather sorry football club not really going anywhere anyway, with or without him. Even if the reality of his time here was mostly underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the mercurial skills of Jet, Jackie & Trundle stick in my mind far more than so much of the dross i’ve witnessed for nearly 50 years and dare I whisper it but I loved watching Tomlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
