Ah, it was pointed out to me from the M5 as being in that cluster of houses with a big hotel at the foot of Crook Peak. Happy to be corrected.

When things looked bleak early 80's there was even rumour of him becoming a director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real shame he wasn't still around to join in with that great song "F off, Swindon Town.

Happy to be corrected. Actually I think we’re both right. Having checked, it seems to be in Cross - just off the A38, near Lower Weare, but on the road near Crook Peak on the way to the Webbington.

His father used to do the match day videos back in the 70s, but if I remember rightly lost his job when City went bankrupt in 82. JP was the compare at Gerry Gows testimonial dinner and knew all the players there very well! As below can not say where Eddie Large went however he was the comedy at the above dinner as Gerry Gow was number 9 on an all time Manchester City legends list and Eddie was a fan. I believe his wife is from Bristol/WSM and he lives locally certainly did a few years ago. Mrs OXO and I sat at the table with both these guys and Bryan Drysdale (Used to be shite but now he’s alright :laugh:!) all top blokes Actually Jonathan Pearce was a Plymouth fan and only became a City fan when he moved to Bristol in his teens. He is certainly a committed City fan now but I do find it strange how peopl can change team just because they moved house. I can understand having a 'second team' in your home city but not dropping your initial team for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Pearce watch all home games for free up in the gantry because his Dad filmed them, and then leave Bristol not long after, returned for a shortish spell at RB, then moved away permanently? Not sure he's been a regular at AG any time since, with the nature of his job, forever commentating on other teams, not helping of course. He's known as a City fan, and certainly calls BCFC his club, but I wouldn't call him one in terms of ever being a regular at AG or a consistently paying fan. I wonder if he's ever bought a ST for instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can for give a seven year old change of heart to support his local club. 1 hour ago, Nogbad the Bad said: Didn't Pearce watch all home games for free up in the gantry because his Dad filmed them, and then leave Bristol not long after, returned for a shortish spell at RB, then moved away permanently?

I wonder if he's ever bought a ST for instance? He certainly watched for free. As I said his old man 'left' the club in 82. He stood in the open end behind the goal or as you say maybe in the Grandstand gantry. Being as his old man worked for the club I reckon he was a regular aged about seven until aged about 23, when most people form their affiliations and then moved for his career. For the record the entire 76 squad all know him very well and as I say again he was the compare for Gerry sitting the other side of speedy to me as above Also for the record here I got talking to him about sports commentary and some of the places he's mentioned City as he routinely does, so I asked him the one question most people want to know, will he do City again? He shook his head, I said you get too worked up, he nodded. Almost a quote I would say. Spot the City Ledge!? vv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
