He's played for Union Douala, according to www.thefinalball.com (and probably someone else in his homeland before he came to England, but I don't know who).

Fair enough As you probably know, before Goal Difference was Goal Average. However, what was City's first ever Difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's only part of the answer, Caroline Hill recruited another City player during the 1981-82 season... Don't think the 2nd player has been answered yet, was it Chris Garland?

Pretty sure it was Gerry Sweeney. About the 42nd minute? One thing I am sure of is the 2nd half was like the Alamo and the City fans didn't stop singing for the whole 45 mins.

Yep, but as havana has all the match day threads from 72-73 onwards he no doubt feels must throw in an obscure question from a particular long ago match every now and then. First to celebrate Sweeney's (or was that at Sunderland?) goal on that WBA match thread was apparently 15 year old BigTone, then known as Little Squirt Tone.

So I cursed the 1800 and sure enough the big end went. Serve em right.. I was a tiddler to be fair. Cheers for that Noggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Rennie hit possibly the worst penalty I`ve ever seen - it went out of the ground! I've often quoted this penalty as the worst I've ever seen, but I remember it as Mark Aizelwood hitting the advertising boards on the roof of the stand behind the goal. The crowd was tiny, we went for a pint before the game and a pile of free tickets had been left on the bar, we picked up a couple and used them to get into the away end.

Think it was in the latter stages of the 1st half anyway - the celebrations and chanting continued throughout the interval as I remember it.

cidered abroad Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I haven't earned the right to post a question as I haven't answered on correctly. But there doesn't appear to be a question to be answered so here goes. In 1976-77 season, Bristol City played a First Division home game in which they kicked off at the start of the match and again at the start of the Second Half. Can anyone name the internationally famous referee who allowed this to happen? You could also add the opposition and the final score if you wish.

cidered abroad Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Not Clive Thomas. He gained notoriety at City for blowing for time when a corner kick was crossing the 6 yard box. DKM Len you have the correct team and score. The mistake was only noticed when shown on TV later. Can't remember if MOD or Big Match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're right RA, my guess came from a dim and distant memory fella. I remember reading it in a book, years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
