charliedinks Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Chris will be talking to Ben Prater on BBC Radio Bristol this Thursday and Friday evening. Tune in from 5pm to hear Chris talking about City, Chelsea, Leicester City, Parkinsons Disease, gambling, attempted suicide, sleeping rough under Weston Pier, and what it was like to train with his hero John Ateyo.

A Horse With No Name Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Would it be fair to say he provided one of the most memorable moments in recent history at the gate. Hands and knees on the line to head in against the gas. Absolute quality. I remember it well. It was a Tuesday night in front of the open end, in one of those memorable Gloucestershire Cup games. I believe we won 6-0 that night, and that goal was probably the sixth. Would get slated today for unprofessional conduct. Would I be correct in saying that Chris had four different spells at City?

Not really one for autobiographies, but I hope it sells well for him. Isn't it a 2 way street. Read about the times at BCFC through the eyes of a striker and what life is like as a footballer struggling after the limelight. Autobiography or not it shows support for someone who brought us great entertainment. As uncle said, "now cough up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Chris @ Megastore 12 -1pm Saturday Chris was one of our greatest players and I will never forget his goal against Liverpool that set up the match at Coventry in 77 and how fired up he was for the Coventry game HOWEVER Can someone ask him WHY he is wearing a Man U shirt on the front of his book....please click the link to amazon earlier in this thread.... A Chelsea shirt ok...A Leicester shirt maybe... But Man U?? Rather than a City shirt...PLLEEAAASE Anyway I'll put it on Santa's list for me this xmas regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Kate Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 It was great to see Chris Garland yesterday and get my book signed. He was the first Bristol City player I ever had a crush on!! And Chris thanks for the kiss you made my day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we won 6-0 that night, and that goal was probably the sixth. Would get slated today for unprofessional conduct. Actually, it was a pre-season Anglo-Scottish Cup match played on a Saturday afternoon, 5th Aug 1978...with City winning 6-1. Apart from that you were spot-on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
