Bubble Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thought it might be abit of fun to generate two teams, a Homegrown 11 made of the best players from Bristol that have played for City in the last 30 years v A Bristol 11 made up of players from Bristol who have never played for City but have been professionals again in the last 30 years. I dont even know if this is possible but lets see if anyone can come up with something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Tommy d Marcus Stewart (good just not for us) Louis Carey Biff although I think he came from bradford on Avon does that count? Danny coles Matt hill. Steve Phillips Andy llewellyn Paul mardon Joe burnell Matt bryant Cole skuse Wilson Keith curle was he bristolian or from the area Aaron brown Hmm my memory is playing up, we had lots of bristol boys in the early 80's but never came to anything. From the area Gary mabbutt Julian dicks Jason dodd from southampton. Holloway. Cureton? Scott Sinclair Bobby zamora Penrice? I'm giving up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Zamora was on West Ham's books as a youngster, in much the same way we picked up Lita from Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Let's include Arthur Milton in the City selection. He grew up in Bemmy and was the last Englishman to play both cricket and football at international level. If you go back to the 70s, our golden years team contained a fair few local lads - Ray Cashley, Geoff Merrick, Cheese, Keith Fear, Trevor Tainton etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 It is often said that our (and Rovers') crowds are relatively low, is because of the huge amature playing set up in Bristol (one of the biggest in the country, so I believe) It is therefore quite shocking, just how few decent players are produced from this area! There are certain boys clubs/teams from other areas of the counrty that have produced more talent in the past than this entire region has! There must be a reason for it - im sure that the women are no more tempting a disctraction here, than many other parts of the country (except Stoke! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hippo Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 This lads quality! would love to see us get him in, as a future keeper. How did we not sign him up ourselves? Did we miss him or did he turn us down? Considering he played for Clevedon United and Jamie Shore's Academy you'd have thought we'd have known about him from a very early age. Will be a travesty if he becomes a top keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butland, is from Bristol, Jamie Shore what a player that would of been if his Knees didn't go, played same age group as him, great to see his quality is not being wasted, on why we didn't pick him up it's all about the scouting network certain players go under the radar and come back to haunt you as a scout.

He's already got 5 U-21 caps and he's only 18. Played against him once for school and we drew 0-0; rest of their team were awful and we had a striker on rovers books at the time and he saved everything! Pure class.

Steve Yates is a good Shout, he was a cracking Centre back Yep, from 9-16 Dave Lee was one of the hottest strikers in Bristol and the South West and really tough to mark (although i think he's still in my pocket!) but when he went to Chelsea on a YTS scheme (yep - thats true!!) they changed him and he emerged as a footballing centre half - decent career too. And by the way, Gas through and through!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
