Was also served a pint by Trevor Jacobs in the Baccy Jar many years ago. I was at primary school with his lads, even back in those days I was in awe of anyone who had played for City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Phillips is a very intense guy. If you see him somewhere he will probably come across a bit Partridge-like....”fancy a pint? No? No neither do I” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider hoss rules Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I installed a telly for Andy May just after he signed for City, he was living in Dursley at the time. And a few years later I went into an office to repair the phones (change of career obviously) and was met by the manager, Paul Cheesley who had been my childhood hero after appearing on the cover of 'the observers book of football' scoring against Arsenal. I was reduced to a mumbling wreck and could not talk to him about football or City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stop staring, my boyhood hero doing some teacher training at my school. Unfortunately he didn't take my class. Was that Henbury Comprehensive as I had the same experience.

Plenty of ex city players have been. I’m 99% certain it was him. I used to see him around clifton fairly regularly. Not sure what he was doing then, but was usually cycling. Then I saw him clearly in Winscombe and he was wearing a full postal uniform. If you are certain he’s not, then it must be his absolute spitting image..!

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. His son is with Southampton, excellent keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As obviously he was such a great goalie who us fans were gutted to see leave us for our rivals! I think most of us forgave him going there after his penalty save for us at the Mem that effectively put the gas down that season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they didn't, but that was another fire that was dodgy as hell. A lot of firms have suspicious fires when money gets tight and the truth is never revealed. Surprised that the Mem has notyetbeen engulfed. That will go up pretty quickly if ignited but unlikely when they keep losing their matches.

Malaggro CNF Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Played cricket against Phillips a couple of times. He played for Purnells out at Paulton. Fancied himself as bit of a Number 3 batsman. He shouldn't have been, he wasn't good enough. Not surprisingly he kept wicket for them and stood up to the wickets constantly. Again, wasn't good enough to and let too many byes through. Bit of a tit to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to drink at Purnells and pubs in the surrounding areas, used to see Phillips regularly. Agree. Told this before about my only meeting with him. A few years back when I was working I went to the ground in my lunch break to renew my season ticket. On driving out I was behind his car, you know the one with the FLAPPA number plate. A car with its roof down, with an attractive young lady driving, came into the ground. Both stopped and started talking. I was unable to drive on and thought it would be a quick word so waited but they carried on. I could have tooted my horn but didn't want to appear to be rude so I got out and went to SP's car and politely asked if he could pull out of the way as I had to get back to work. He looked at me as though I was a piece of sh*t. I got back in my car and he still didn't shift. I was about to get out again when the young lady pulled her car out of the way which allowed me to get past. This little incident told me all I needed to know about his character.
