T R Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi I just wondered if any of you guys recognize any of these players from 69/70 season? The only one I recognize is Chris Garland sat at the front to the left? Can you put names to faces? This is a couple of seasons before I went regularly from 74 onwards. I saw this photo on ebay earlier, there is a very good seller, selling Bristol City football memorabilia, there are some really good team photographs on there for those who are interested in collecting programmes etc, well worth a look! http://www.ebay.co.u...l city&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonks51 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 My first post but couldn't resist replying as these were my school boy heroes... backrow: Alec Briggs, Tony Ford, Jack Connor, Mike Gibson, John Galley, Terry Bush, Ken Wimshurst middle row: Gordon Low (or Parr?), Bobby Kellard?, Gerry Sharp, Trevor Jacobs, Jantzen Derrick, Gordon Parr (or Low?) front row: Chris Garland, Dickie Rooks, Brian Drysdale, ? A long time ago, about 1968? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Cheers guys! thanks for the information, I should have got drysdale, I have heard of his name, I think he was a good player? There seems to have been a lot of changes made in 71 onwards which led to our promotion to the top flight. P.S. I wish we still had Alan Dicks. With his knowledge he could really help Delboy out.

slartibartfast Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 THAT team would whip our asses ! If I had to choose ONE player who would improve our team it would be...... Dickie Rooks, WHAT a centre-half ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I can remember watching every single one (OK with one exception) of those players many times, most were with the club for a few seasons, but Malcolm Clark?? just do not remember anything about him, not even the name. Drysdale was the only one to play in the promotion team of 75/76, our regular left back but he only played a few games in the top flight, hardly played after we signed Norman Hunter. And of course Chris Garland re-joined us in our first season back in the top flight. Not sure that team would whoop our asses thoough, they basicallly did in 68/69 what we have done for the last 2 seasons ie put in some abject performances but just about escaped the drop to the 3rd tier. I remember going to Birmingham away that season, we were a goal down within a minute, lost 2-0 and showed absolutely no fight, spirit or quality, one of the worst no-shows I have ever seen (and thats saying something!!) Some things don't change, but lets hope for something better at St Andrews tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed from Baadiff on a free, arrived with a black eye (you can just see it on the photo) a leaving present (apparantley) from one of his team mates! Hardly figuered, then released .

Red Rag Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Anyone remeber the game when Gerry Shape broke his leg, think it was Middlesborough. Can hear the sound now, made me feel sick at the time. Just wonder how many are still around and what they are up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Not many in that photo who would shirk a tackle or jump up and turn their back when being in a defensive wall defending a free kick like most lady boys who play the game these days.

One of Never to the Darkside's (NTTDs) favourite BCFC players of all time - by what I remember him saying. All that lovely terracing in the background - wasted with bloody seats now planted all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
