TBW Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looks like mine is winning. Played in the same BCFC side as John Atyeo in the early 60's, lightening quick winger who could also play centre forward and was a qualified school teacher as was JA, a profession they both took up full time after retiring from football.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Alex Tait. Yeah well done, around about 1964 City had a fair few options upfront, John Atyeo, Bobby 'shadow' Williams, the emerging Brian Clark and Sandy Tait, all great players and all could score goals, Sandy was the only one with real pace.

WellRedPhil Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Ex rangers youth captain, supposed to be next big thing, disappeared into nothingness like most young city players. I'm assuming you don't mean him but I'm pretty sure Danny Wilson captained the youth team at Rangers while he was there, so if he's not who you meant then two fit that quota! (The reason I assume it's not him is because you stated "disappeared into nothingness" whereas Wilson barely even appeared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 John Crossan just read the story amazing. People don't realise that our then manager Peter Doherty was considered a genius by many pro's as a player and as coach, he was one of the very first to start changing training methods from endless laps of the pitch to ball skills and exercises and believe me I saw Johnny Crossan play and he was a brilliant player, a legend at Sunderland and Manc and for his international team Northern Ireland, he would have been a legend at BCFC.
