YGBjammy Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Feels like it was a hundred years ago we were watching him tear it up down the wing for us Just looked it up on Wikipedia and we're still the club he has most appearances for (only by 1 more than Boro though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Stone Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 The lads on Radio Bristol said you will never meet a nicer man in football, an absolute gent apparently. The reception via the song given by the city fans was class and well deserved . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 It was one of those odd occasions where in the space of a few minutes their fans applauded Wells on and ours applauded Albert on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 After his final home game of the 2012/13 season, a 26th defeat for already relegated City, Albert was the only player to visit the Supporters Club bar. He talked openly to fans and didn't give excuses. The man is a class act on and off the pitch and forever in our hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has deserved their career more & to finish it at the club he supports is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only by hyper defensive forum losers defensive because someone has an opinion that the West Country accent isn't one he wants his son to sound like. I don't blame him. Maynard is still probably the best finisher we've had since Goater. That goal v QPR will be remembered for decades. He was 'almost' our record sale. He was an extremely good striker until the injury. If we signed a striker now with the same pedigree, ability and potential we'd be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Quite agree, I don't get why there is so much animosity based largely on that quip about not wanting his child to have a Bristol accent. It was a joke. The British are meant to be renowned for having a great sense of humour. Okay, it wasn't the greatest of jokes but it's a sad day when someone is pilloried for years after for trying to add a bit of levity to a usually serious world.
