Funny how the ones who yelled about his win % compared to Cotts have just run away and been silent.....especially since LJ’s win % as our manager is now well below 38% whilst Cotts’ record stands at 46%...regardless of level/league/division .... Cotts’ record was very impressive, and given LJ’s history and current tactics....there’s no way he’d have led us to the runaway league one title triumph that Cotts gave us....no way at all...will always love Cotts for THAT season... Yeah let's bring in Warnock....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were there really early and there was no one around. He was desperate to chat to anyone about the game, and we were the only ones, so we had a good natter. Joe looking young with his free City scarf. Lineker’s autograph on the Programme.....with Albie’s too!!! That tallies with other things I've read about him. Good on him.

poland_exile Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 bewildering how people crowbar Johnson into a thread about a striker that played for us 25 years ago! Like there aren't about 300 other threads dealing specifically with LJ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question as he ran City's Academy U9's - U16's when my boy was there and seemed a good bloke and of course he was one of the gang of three running the show for a while.

In Italy for the Anglo Italian game against Pisa, me and two mates in a bar and one was struggling with the phone trying to ring home. Couple of players came in and blank us when we said hi, Rob Edwards was one can't remember the other, but Leroy came over sorted the phone and had a quick chat. There was one stage I thought he was a good fit for us as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one stage I thought he was a good fit for us as manager. haha, heard some adventures from the Pisa trip from a few others. As an aside, the only time I've met Leroy (he was with Rob Edwards and Brian effing Mitchell!), he was an absolute gentleman and extremely friendly. Seemed a lovely chap! I'm trying to recall some of Leroy's performances for us, but struggling to remember as, obviously, Jacki and Cole tended to overshadow him. From memory though, think he played blinder against Millwall away at the Old Den and that match when we tanked Cardiff 5-1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kane gets an MBE for scoring goals against poor teams and a few penalties whilst others on the list have done years of charitable work and receive the same recognition e.g. Mike Peters ex. Alarm front man. Mmmm ... 1100 people get awards, 70 % of them for services to the community, but the media focus on the famous ones, so people get upset about that. It’s not as if the unknowns are being ignored, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
