cityexile Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 With our gas head friends worried that thousands of City fans will be in the Oxford end cheering on Matty Taylor on his return to the cabbage patch and blaming the league for even allowing it because they ‘know what it going to happen’...it got me thinking... Over the years who are our returners we have given most stick too? Or I suppose any player. To start the ball rolling, I can remember some real noise for Maynard when he returned with West Ham I think it was. Enjoyed it myself in a Pantomine kind of way. Any that stick in your mind, where even walking to the ground you were thinking ‘blimey, I bet (insert name here) gets some stick, and you were not disappointed?

harvey54 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not a player but Tony Penis when he came back with Stoke and we beat them in the season they got promoted and we lost to Hull in the pray offs.

22A Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Bob Kellard? Said he wanted to be nearer his family home in Portsmouth, so took a transfer to Leicester. Eventually he signed for Pompey and declared he looked forward to beating City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lita got pelters after he celebrated, although he did run in front of the east end celebrating in front of the City fans. To this day I never understand why he done that, there was no bad blood before hand, he was a bit of a City 'legend'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the one though I'm convinced he celebrated in front of Atyeo or someone did- remember after said penalty chants of the 'w' word but think it was at whoever was celebrating in the vicinity.

Kodjias Wrist Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Can't remember ex players or managers getting more than the usual although Maynard got a lot on his return. Since late 90's i would say Jamie Cureton with the paedo chants ringing around AG was an eye opener for me at a young age. Worst for a Manager was definitely Warnock at the semi final against palace.

I remember him warming up in front of the signing section when it was in the Atyeo end and him playing along with the chants pretending to be injured and laughing, he also clapped the end after he finished warming up. I changed my mind him on that day think most of things he said was tongue in cheek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who went in goal (no sub keeper then) turned out to be better, cue a chorus of "Bring back the Parkin." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEd73 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not a visiting player but Phil Purnell used to get dogs abuse whenever taking a corner in front of the city fans when the gas were at Twerton. He was covered in spit every time he had to come over to take a corner. Actually had a bit of respect for him after that as it must've been an awful situation to be put in.

I was in the front row of the Atyeo for the 1st leg of the FRT southern final and can remember he got a bit of applause before and after the game but abuse all the way through it. He then got some polite applause at the end IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I miss more games than I see, half a memory we played against Zach Clough after his dad laughed at us and talked him out of coming here. Might be making that up equally! Shame, seeing all the top sides he has gone on to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
