kingswood red Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 When Steve McClaren left City in August 1989 he went to Oxford United. According to Citystats no fee was involved, it was a part exchange. Anyone have any idea what we got in return?, keep it clean. http://www.citystats.org.uk/playerdetail.a...43&filter=M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit, a bit like David Rennie of that era, I though McLaren was actually a fairly decent player, who both didn't receive the recognition they deserved at AG. Admittedly we got a better, albeit different, player in Shelton. And yes he IS a wally(but not whilst he had his red city shirt on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 McClaren was actually pretty poor for us, rather lightweight and considering his pedigree and transfer fee (£70k was big money for us back then) a disappointment all round. Swapping him to Oxford for Gary Shelton (the best City midfielder post 1980, in my humble opinion) was an absolute steal by Joe Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to the rhythm Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Gary shelton.. what a bargain he was. Those of you who rave about LJ clearly never saw Shelton play. He was magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 McClaren was actually pretty poor for us, rather lightweight and considering his pedigree and transfer fee (£70k was big money for us back then) a disappointment all round. Swapping him to Oxford for Gary Shelton (the best City midfielder post 1980, in my humble opinion) was an absolute steal by Joe Jordan. McClaren was forever laying face down on the turf! He was so lightweight he got brushed over at the slightest contact. I remember at the end of season, going on the pitch and laying face down to see what the attraction was!! (bit drunk that day) He could put good passes in, but scored very little and Gary Shelton was simply magnificent for us, so McClarens memory soon faded. now Gary Shelton, what a midfielder! - tackled, passed the ball, and scored loads - hoe u eenvoudig briljant zegt!

Wasn't till i got to the Dutch bit that I realised what the joke was. There was me thinking, what's Sean Connery got to do with Steve McLaren?

downendcity Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wasn't till i got to the Dutch bit that I realised what the joke was. There was me thinking, what's Sean Connery got to do with Steve McLaren? I was thinking just the same. Sean Connery phoned one of his friends asking if they could meet up. "When are you free", asked Connery. " "What about tomorrow. Tenish?" suggested his friend. "Tomorrow's fine with me " replied Connery, "but do you want to play singles or doubles?"
