And he's under 40 years old, looking like he does. Still plenty of time to 'have fun'. I know between Tommy docs career and Ronaldo whose I'd rather have! You can't actually spend £1bn.

You wouldnt' get that nowadays! Well, of course not. Like many other similar establishments, The Tobacco Factory has been obliged to close due to this Corona Virus thing....

Three pints straight down then train back to Liverpool. (Not Allegedly) Nice bloke to speak to. One of the Peter Carol Coach drivers I spoke to used to room with him on away games. He'd turn in at 3 in the morning then play the next day. (Allegedly). None of those who played in those times were any worse than the Super fit players of today in my opinion.

How did he Not score, ANYONE between 9 and 90 and less than 9 hours dead scores that open goal..... I jumped up and turned away to celebrate and was still doing so when the play had reached the halfway line. I couldn't understand why play was continuing. How small things change history. If that had gone in City would probably got automatic promotion, so no awful playoff defeat at Cardiff and no sack for Danny Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 On the pitch, I'd say Baird giving the crowd the v's up - don't think he ever played again after that? Off the pitch - my memory is a muddle but I'm sure there were "oi, that's my mrs" incidents involving Jacki and another player or Robbie Turner and someone else?

Bristol Rob Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've heard rumours that a former player, first team manager and now loans manager, once saw a Gashead and DIDN'T kick him in the head. Despite clear instructions/expectations to the contrary. Don't know how he can live with himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but you said “there were others but none that really counted” - that’s something completely different - people like Terry Cooper definitely count - a proper City legend ...

Of course he's counts and is a legend. So much so that his involvement with Rovers doesn't really count. Another being Alan Walsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
