The Dolman Pragmatist Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 4 hours ago, 22A said: I agree with you initially, but a few years before, we had another Big John in that number 9 shirt. Number 3? Gordon Parr wore it for 18 years and was replaced by Brian Drysdale. Number 6 - Geoff Merrick. number 1 - that will be a definite generation thing. Gordon Parr? He wasn’t a number 3: in those days no 3 was always the left back, and that was Alec Briggs. Parr was either a central defender or, more usually, defensive central midfield, and generally wore either no 4 or no 6. And he was a first teamer for City for less than ten years.

Matthew me Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Scott 7 End of story. Total legend in my eyes. Made match day exciting. Remember hearing away fans talking about "their amazing winger" Always felt we would win when he was in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepUpLino Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bob Taylor 9 for me, the last CF to score 30 goals and not even in a full season, hell of a player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was all a long time ago now.. This is as I remember it! Taylor 9, Turner 11, Smith 10 and Gavin 7. Great blend of physicality, speed, and guile in there with Taylor as the ace in the pack. Pretty much the complete centre forward at the time at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although clearly Joe Jordan didn’t think Robbie Turner was good enough, certainly for the second tier, because he replaced him before the end of the season with first Dean Horrix and then Nicky Morgan.

And he was right to a point. Turner was limited but a perfect foil for Taylor at third tier level. As I think was stated at the time, (maybe in The Bountyhunter fanzine - could be wrong), “Turner knocks em down, and Taylor knocks em in”! Could be argued that the lack of a big physical strike-partner led to Bob’s perceived struggles and his ridiculous sale to WBA, where he of course thrived with Andy Hunt alongside him I believe.
