Roadrunner Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Going through some of my old images of the City today. Two City managers in this one Bob Houghton and Roy Hodgson. Can anyone help me with who the other person is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 No...but it looks like he is trying to strangle himself...I've had the same feeling watching City over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I was thinking maybe this was before he went for the John Shaw hair style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsHeadIs Red Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 The City bench from left to right, abject despair, praying to the almighty and attempted suicide. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Don’t think it’s Heather or Tovey. I’m not convinced it’s Alex Lockhart, but the glasses make me wonder. He was physio around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 He's wearing one of the umbro diamond tracksuit tops. They're worth a mint now on eBay, especially if there is some sanitizer gel in the pockets. He also appears to be trying to strangle himself. Roy Hodgson doesn't seem that concerned, partly because he will then nab his jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretaker at City in 1980. I think he was the first black manager in the football league (open to be proven wrong).

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Collins_(footballer) Difficult to tell from those pics and not wanting to upset some soul but Collins appears swarthy skin tone i wouldn’t regard his skin tone as ‘Black’ ( Im merely looking at / comparing the two pics of Unidentified man & the one 1960 provided of Tony Collins - I don’t know why I’m bothering , Need new glasses and trying to compare black n white photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm crap on putting an age to someone - that unknown fella doesn't look that old to me ? Also, never saw him in glasses back in the day. But could be wrong.
