22A Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Reported on BBC Oxford this evening that David Rennie set up a company selling autographed Premier League souvenirs. Wayne Rooney saw a Man U shirt with his signature on, but it wasn't his writing. It came out in court that Rennie's company made over a million selling fake souvenirs. I assume this is the same Dave Rennie who was a hero of City's 1990 team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 is it my faltering memory, or wasn't Rennie regularly booed by us? what a belter against the gas, but can't remember much else of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though agree with @Verloc, the age is too young. Also, the press would surely have mentioned the words 'ex-footballer' somewhere in the report.

And he doesn't look like "that" Dave Rennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Remember being at trumpton. Being a young teenager. Probably about 6 of us . In the rovers end behind goal. Right no one cheer. Rennie hits a 30 yarder in the top corner. Up we go . Lost 3-2 got chased back to the train station. Good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 The real Rennie 53 according to Wiki, the con mans 46. Yes @poland_exile he was given some undeserved stick. I liked him but for a section of the support he wasn't good enough, good enough to play 82 times in the Prem with Cov though. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think one of the reasons he got stick was that he was one of those players who seemed to play with a casual style which some supporters thought was laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I remember at the time he was the sort of player we regularly took the pish out of, but as soon as anyone else did we defended him to the end.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 He was the reason for me coming the closest I ever have to lamping another City fan. it was away at Norwich in the cup (lost 2-1 with their winner going in off Robert Rosario`s fat arse, think the Chief got ours) and he spent the whole game just slagging DR off and I finally snapped and went for him but my mate grabbed me and the bloke was told in no uncertain terms to find somewhere else to stand for the rest of the game.

I don’t remember Rennie being booed, key member of promotion winning team, the rock behind Shelton, Smith and Gavin, near post fick on king and quite a hard tackler.

Flounder Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I remember he was good at pointing , vertical clearances and the near post flick on. However in my youth it was probably difficult to look past the glamour of Shelton and give due credit to the much maligned roll of defensive midfielder.

As a teenager you don't really appreciate the water carriers, you wanted everyone to have loads of tricks or bang the ball into the net - I'd reckon that those booing him were all the younger uns like myself as opposed to our wider fan base. It certainly wasn't a case of outright hostility / persecution from what i recall, more like a lukewarm connection to the younger crowd that occasionally veered into the boos.
