He treated my mother after she had a stroke. Told my dad a few stories about ex players. Was it up past Broadwalk and the Gaiety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 5 hours ago, HomerRed said: I was going to say he was a bit bow-legged, but now realise I was probably being too kind. He still got a big cheer once he reached the injured player - particularly if he was in a race with the opposition physio. I recall a two-player crunch at a match when Buster was summoned along with the opposition's sponge-man one Saturday. Both came on at the same time and ran over to the middle of the pitch. As they were neck and neck, the pair began to speed up and the crowd caught this little race with some enthusiasm. Both men, weighed down with kit, dashed across the slippery turf only for their man to stumble and sprawl, leaving Buster the winner. Happy days.

oldstandrobin Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I used to visit Les at his home in Ashton for physio, his son Chris had a practice up the Wells Road.

sglosbcfc Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Shows what an inclusive club we are that we had Dr Dasgupta and Alex Lockhart at a time when you rarely saw a black or Asian face around a football club. There weren't even that many black players in the late 70s early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Bardsley had a testimonial at the Mem one Sunday morning. City played the Rugby club at Socby, football played with a rugby ball. At half time City were losing 1-0 thanks to an own goal. Early in the second half, the ball went out for a throw in and was replaced by a football and the City players looked more relaxed, but the rugby fans weren't too happy. Then for the final quarter of the game, the ball went out and instead of a throw in, the rugby ball reappeared and the rugby players took up positions for a line out. That final period was pure rugby. Yes; Les was seen running with the ball and trying to palm off two defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, I would say not in the concept we see Bristol sport as it is today at Ashton gate but that booklet more of a celebration of sports players looked after in a medical capacity.
