Remember watching Llewey against Hereford early in his City career and wondering if he'd ever make it !

One of my favourite memories of Andy Llewellyn was a game against Walsall at Ashton Gate some time in the mid-eighties. Walsall were winning and had taken to wasting time at every opportunity. So when one of their players was fouled in front of the Enclosure, they thought it would be a good idea to pretend they hadn't heard the ref's whistle, and carry on playing, moving the ball over to the far side, where one of their players ran down the line with it.

By now, the ref was preoccupied with the player who'd been fouled (who of course was hamming up an injury to waste more time). Andy Llew, realising none of the officials was watching the ball, took the opportunity to take out the cheating ******* in front of the Dolman with a knee high "tackle". Served him right.

It must have been great being a forward in a team with Andy Llew, because if anyone fouled you, you could rely on your right back to get him back for you.

Happy days!
