I believe you are correct…first million pound player and came on as substitute….and yes, we lost by a goal to nil. Proud to say I saw the first appearance of a million pound player in the uk.
Can't understand why Cam Pring hasn't won this. He's been probably our most consistent performer this season...probably because the club have him down as born in Cheltenham....but I know for a fact that he was born in Southmead hospital. Can't get more Bristol than that!
If I remember correctly, Paul Cheesley scored five for the reserves in a 8-2 victory against Cardiff when he was first signed from Norwich in the early 1970's.
Nearly fifty years ago we beat Leeds in the fifth round...they were top of the first division and were unbeaten in 32 games, and if I remember correctly we were in a similar position as now in our league. Anything's possible!
Thought Cameron Pring would have been up for this...made 34 appearances to Ayman's 11....born in Southmead Hospital. Maybe the Senior Reds weren't aware as the club (and Wikipedia) show as born in Cheltenham.
