Silvio Dante Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 An impressively random thread which I approve of. ****ing love Joe. Might be my age, but you can keep the Cotts/GJ teams. It’s all about the 89/90 and Smith burning pace one side, Gav taking the piss on the other. Carnage beating centre half’s up for super Bob to score. Rennie flicking it on at the near post. Psycho scaring strikers. Ronnie Sinclair being 8 stone soaking wet but keeping everything out. I repeat. I approve of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Absolutely love Joe Jordan. Should of taken the penalty against Mansfield instead of Gordon Owen. The thread has brought back some fantastic memories. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zider_drinker Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Great memories.The Bradford and Forest games on that Cup run were special.Walsall in the play offs always sticks in my mind too despite the end result. 3-1 down from the first leg,then bringing it back to 3-3 on aggregate after beating them 2-0 a few days later. Always remember after losing the toss for venue, Jordan walking around the ground gesturing to the City fans to get back up there on the Monday.

cider hoss rules Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 My favourite player growing up in a family of ‘plastic’ Man U fans. Unbelievable when he came on loan, then became manager twice. My sons first and middle names are Joe Jordan, and I have a framed photo of me and the big man on my desk that was taken before a pre season friendly at Cheltenham in 95.

SuperDziek Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Shame Big Joe wasn’t first team coach for us this season - wouldn’t have tolerated any of the nonsense we’ve seen this season. I love the clash between Gattuso and Joe at the San Siro. Joe must have been early 60s at the time yet he’d still have had Gattuso for breakfast.

Bristol Oil Services Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I don't think those Cambridge games did a lot for us. To have got through that round and gone to Highbury in the quarter final would've been immense. The wins against Swindon and Chelsea were memorable though. It was a lively two and a half years, Big Joe's first stint here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavlin Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Remember being a a guess of a Reading supporter at Elm Park, sitting behind the City bench. The game had just kick-off and Jordan appeared and walk to the bench and looked at a young City player who was a sub. Walked up to him and in a deep Scottish accent Eh sonny move your butt.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Jordans promotion team was awesome. They chewed everyone up that season (apart from Tranmere (A) and THAT game at Gas Central. Sooo many happy memories. I was never part of the Sinclair fan club though. I always thought we looked calmer with Andy Leaning between the sticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play-offs. League Cup semi. Promotion. Top of 2nd division (after just two games, admittedly). With the benefit of hindsight, I think we might've rode that Big Joe wave a little longer. But "1982" was still fresh in the minds of many, Joe was threatening the "steady as we go, let's not get carried away here" Bristol City mindset that you could argue persists to this day. It was probably correct to choose caution over Jordan, I mean look what happened to Darlington. And Bradford Park Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with pretty much everything that has been said, but for those of us that were at Twerton for 'that game', the season will always be soiled. So very sad, we were far superior to Rovers, but the Taylor injury and our capitulation when it mattered cost us big style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Morgan and RobbieTurner two other under rated players from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 The best side we had in my lifetime. Love that side to a man, every single one of them. Stood on the East End listening to the deafening sounds of “One Bobby Taylor, theres only one Bobby Taylor, one Bobby Taaaaayyyylllloor” as God splashed another one in after a screeching Smudge run, or Gav mesmerising some hapless full-back. ”Turner knocks em down, and Taylor knocks em in”. Lovely. Those were indeed the days my friends….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
