cider head Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 John Galley John Galley was onced described by alan dicks as his best-ever signing, John Galley was an inelegant but effective goal scorer. Strong in the air, ungainly but deceptive on the ground, Galley's record for Bristol city was admirable for his team were battling relegation for most of his stay at Ashton gate. Born at clowne, derbyshire, on 7th may 1944 he played for wolverhampton wandereres and rotherham united before dicks' £25,000 offer lured the millmoor club into parting with him. His debut for city came in December 1967, when he scored all three goals in a 3-0 win at Huddersfield. A replacement for hughie mcllmoyle, his goals undoubtedly saved city from relegation in 1967-68 - and probably saved dick's his job. He left Ashton gate in December 1972, signed for £30,000 by dave mackay of Nottingham forest. From there he moved to Peterborough united and then to Hereford united, where he dropped back to centre-half. With hereford he won a third division championship medal.
