That 21 years covers a total (to date) of 967 league matches so 1000 will be reached on the opening day of next season ! For the record our results over the 967 matches is W375 D262 L330

29/11/2006 v Nottingham Forest away in LDV Vans Trophy round 3 was the last one !

I think it took a bit more than a "niggle" to get players of that era off the pitch permanently ! In 1965/66 there were 8 substitutions, in 1966/67 only 1 (Terry Bush as you noted earlier) and then under the tactical "regime" 16 in 1967/68. A "useless" fact is that the all time total of substitutions for city is now just about 4600 !

A single substitute was introduced from season 1965/66 but for 2 seasons a change was only permitted as a result of injury. From season 1967/68 the rules changed to tactical substitutes allowed.

The first sub used was George Showell on 28th August 1965 away at Manchester City - a 2-2 draw !

Close, but you could go for November 1901 in the FA Cup and September 1922 (the first league meeting) !

Sad news !! Not sure if mentioned in previous replies but Bury are the only team that BCFC have played at all 4 levels of the League.
