GrahamC Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Very sad, he & TC were basically a two man band for years, doing almost everything. Remember reading in Joe Jordan’s autobiography that Clive & TC offered to move Joe’s furniture when he joined us, because the club couldn’t afford to pay anyone to do it. Lovely bloke, RIP. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Lesser known and remembered than TC, but another one who gave himself, body and soul, to BCFC. Condolences to his family. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silvio Dante Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 For those of us who were around in the 1980s, there weren’t loads of coaches and staff at the club - TC, Clive, Alex Lockhart as physio and Jock Rae as chief scout it seemed ran the whole operation. Wembley twice in two seasons and TC let Clive lead the team out once, and Jock the other. The greatest tribute you can pay is that they both thoroughly deserved it, and played a huge part in our journey back. RIP 19 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornbury Red Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 My memory of Clive was attending the Terry Cooper soccer school and how him and TC were in attendance and around the place as we were on the course, He was a gentleman and a massive part of where we are as a club right now. RIP 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) RIP, I was lucky enough to meet him at the 25th anniversary dinner for the Freight Rover Trophy back in 2011. Him and TC are the hardest working managerial team our club has ever had. Hopefully one day they’ll be formally recognised somewhere within Ashton Gate.

It occurred to me only after I wrote my first post that in TC’s first season with us that he was starting most games, so Clive was the only bloke we had on the line with Alex Lockhart as the physio. From his second season Coops was usually the sub (there was only one then) so he started off in the dugout, too. When you look at the small army who are sat there now, the manager, at least 2 coaches then a goalkeeper coach, it really was a completely different world. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Very sad news, was a very important part of our revival, should never be forgotten what a huge part TC and Clive had in keeping our club alive and kicking, both City legends in my opinion. RIP Clive, condolences to family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Sad news. Worked so hard with Terry Cooper to keep us going and inject life and pride back into the club. RIP. Sadly, again, I’m left thinking - what happened to the “fitting memorial” to Terry Cooper? Have I missed it? Naively I was hoping the trains ground might be renamed.

To be fair (to the Club), there is something different between a quick, rushed ‘RIP Clive’, from fans who may never even have heard of heard of him before his demise, than a considered, meaningful message of condolence. I am sure the latter will appear shortly from the Club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I remember when Clive was manager of Carlisle and they drew Liverpool in the FA Cup - a reporter asked him “have you had their team watched?” - Clive replied “of course not, they’re bl**dy Liverpool!” - rest easy fella, a big part of Bristol City’s history ...

Floatn Over Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Very sad news, RIP and thanks Clive. A key figure at a critical time for this club. I often recall the television interview with TC on the pitch after the Wembley FR Trophy win, TC saying - It’s my team, mine and Clive’s..........Says it all really.
