jellyred Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Slight random one, my wife has just messaged me to say she was served by Flapper in a cafe in Bridgwater. Quite random and a bit of a drop down , I presume his missus owns it. Anyone else bumped into ex city in slightly random jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Pretty sure @SuperDziek was driven home from Bristol Airport the other year in a taxi driven by our ex-striker Nicky Morgan Also ex-goalie Mike Gibson used to be our postman!

OneTeamInBristol Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Bumped into Diony in the park once and he was having a kick around with a hedgehog. I was shocked he could be so cruel to an animal and I was just about to step in when the hedgehog went 1-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 He probably moved down there because of all the abuse he has APPARENTLY had to put with from City fans over the years for moving to the Gas. As obviously he was such a great goalie who us fans were gutted to see leave us for our rivals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He no longer works at Yeovil as goalkeeper coach. Don’t think he was particularly impressed with how professional it was down there. I did hear he was fitter than the players during runs etc! He is an avid cyclist & does a lot of running. He is by all accounts a very competitive guy still. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just like @CyderInACan, Mike Gibson used to be my postman. For clarification... Mike Gibson was also @CyderInACan's postman. @CyderInACan was not my postman. Hope that clears it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRaw Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Many moons ago when working in an office in town, I had a visit from our new stationary supplier rep. When he arrived in my office it was none other than my favourite player and legend.........Alan Walsh! Suffice to say a longer than usual "meeting" took place that had nothing to do with stationary. Unfortunately, his career took a further nose dive when he signed up to the Rovers coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve just reminded me that in a place I worked about 10 years ago, the guy who worked in the post room/stationery place was involved in Rovers set up somehow, either ex goalkeeper or goalkeeper coach. Mike someone I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redysteadygo Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Told this before but when at school in the mid 60s going down the corridor to morning assembly 'Big John" walks around the corner. I can't stop staring, my boyhood hero doing some teacher training at my school. Unfortunately he didn't take my class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Not that random really, because its still in football. But was surprised a couple of years ago when I got on the coach for a Manor Farm away game and ex-goalkeeper Mike Mahoney (4 games for us, over 100 for Newcastle) was on it. He's goalkeeping coach there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 No longer at Yeovil. He is now working at a college in Bridgwater and still has many goalkeeping clinics in the Somerset area. He was indeed fitter than most of the Yeovil squad. Used to see him out every morning running and at some pace as well. On a side note a couple of years ago his son was wanted by a number of clubs, City included, but I am not sure which club he ended up at. He is a goalkeeper as well by the way.

wendyredredrobin Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I expect many of us have been served a pint or two by the Cheese in one of the pubs he used to run. Was also served a pint by Trevor Jacobs in the Baccy Jar many years ago. Annoyingly, about 10 years ago, Geoff Merrick spoke to me outside the Gate and I didn't recognise him until he had walked off. I served petrol to Gerry Gow and Trevor Tainton back in the 70's too. You see a lot of players in Portishead if you go there. I've spoken to Bobby Gould a few times and a number of our current and recent players have properties there. I've seen Joe Jordan in Clifton a few times as well.
