General Zod Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I was wondering if our fan base contain any ex City players? I’m not talking about the ones that turn up at the Gate for an occasional corporate jolly or get a quote in the paper when we are doing well but are there any who, now their careers are over, join us in the stands for the ups and downs on a regular basis? We often say that players are City through and through so I’m intrigued if I’m likely to see any blasts from the past in the concourse when I’m waiting inline for a pasty.

I've often wondered the same. With all the hundreds of City players I've seen they and their extended families could fill a stand on their own. Assume Tommy Doherty and Louis Carey are now amongst the S82 chant starters? I'm pretty sure Colin Cramb is a STH and I remember Trevor Tainton used to be regular.

He sold me one of those big water dispensers you get in offices once and I was also in his cricket team for Rob Newman's testimonial at the County Ground.

General Zod Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Considering the number of local lads we’ve had in the squad over the years there doesn’t seem many who once off the payroll choose to spend their time watching us. I guess even when they were kids they probably spent more time playing than watching so don’t have the bug like the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
