GrahamC Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Take your point but he only played 12 games for us. Anyway in his place how about Les Carter? Les Carter was a non scoring forward we had on loan from Palace after we went bust in '82, pretty sure the league made us send him back along with Aiden McCaffery of the gas. My favourite obscure player is Simon Panes, he was working with my old man in '82 whilst playing for Patchway Town, he took a month's holiday to play 4 games for us, we then decided not to keep him, so he went back to work and carried on playing for Patchway Town, that's how desperate we were then...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 We also had Joe Durrell back in the 1970s, a neat winger we got from West Ham and I think he went back to a London club after about 18 months (Leyton Orient maybe). He had the unenviable record of never having scored a goal and nailed a belter against Cardiff one Boxing Day only for it to be ruled out for offside. Trouble is I can't remember what i did yesterday! I'm too young to remember those days (probably because I wasn't around then) Look at all these players we've signed for them to be utter tripe, Somethings just don't change!

Dorset_Cider Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 He had a terrible injury when playing for City. A broken leg / ankle where the bone did a 90 degree turn at the break point. Never the same player afterwards Yep........ I think I was at that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Mark McCammon. Don't know where he came from or where he went. Saw Harpal Singh play for us in a 2-0 defeat at Notts County and was surprised at how unimpressive he was due to the fact he had featured on 'Football Focus' as one for the future. Simon Clist.

Northern Red Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I saw every one of his league goals for the club. Didn't he get all of them against one club (possibly Peterborough?) in 2 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember hearing his name being announced over the PA System at AG as Lee-Ah-Me Robinson (as opposed to Lee-um). Can't remember which match it was though. Not sure what the PA guys mental block was in regards to the name Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Plenty of 'non-obscurities' mentioned in this thread so forgive me for putting forward the name of our very own SuperStar (erm ) The shy retiring epitomy of modesty that was ..... Kevin Mabbutt. (who believed the hype?) Never did quite live up to his own publicity, sadly the Gas got the better deal with his brother Gary ,Spurs, England etc, Kev always in his brothers shadow... Gary did his talking on the pitch ... Kev? .. well, Kev did it his way! I guess he was decent enough - but never ever as good as he thought he was, Bristols answer to George Best or something. (Anyone still got pics of his flashy red sponsored car with his name all over it? jeez what was he thinking?? ) Credit where its due though.. he did score a rare hat-trick against Man U at their place once, Done ok for himself since though, restaurant in LA, anyone ate there?

SecretSam Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Sebok and Testimtanu and Soren Anderson under big Benny FFS they are not "obscure", Sebok was a Hungarian international who played a bunch of games, classy centre back, Anderson (Andersen?) was a pig-ugly Danish striker who was probably brilliant but never really got a chance. And Ivan No-way-am-I-spelling-his-surname was total legend in his day, a real midfield dynamo, a total engine, with a shot like an Exocet. Top bloke as well, real never say die attitude, only a really bad injury stopped him moving on to greater things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Can anyone remember Paul Milsom? Came through the ranks and got sent off on his debut (I think?). Don't think he ever played for City again either. Edit: Just checked and he made 3 appearances (1 start, 2 subs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've just come across the site below. It's a wonderful walk down memory lane of players you've forgotten or those you wish you'd forgotten. One name on the list that I'd forgotten about was Steve Johnson, a centre forward who played for City in the 80s. He looked great when he came but didn't really deliver. http://www.neilbrown.newcastlefans.com/bristolcity/bristolcity.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well that is 3 different spellings for the same bloke. Better let Ole decide! Luís Carlos Lourenço da Silva I had Albano Correia / 26 on the back of my shirt the season he scored the winner in the final home friendly against Premier League Southampton. He never played again (but he was still our very own Carlos Wanchope - leggy and unpredictable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Loved Dani Rodrigues... was only here a short time, but was full of talent. He's had some terrible injuries...Two ankle breaks and a cruciate ligament tear...but obviously loves football and was still playing pro football last year. SOD had him at Bournemouth for two seasons. Would love us to find another talent like that from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Bo Anderson. Sold to us as the next Schmeichel, sat on a bench for months. Pinnamonte was a great shout from earlier in the thread. Had Osei Sankofa visit the school that I work in a couple of years ago, along with Luther Blisset. Had very bad words for Keith Millen, who was coming to the end of his time with us, he couldn't believe that he had made it to be a manager. Does Yannick Bolasie count?!

Dastardly and Muttley Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Also, didn't we have a very famous ex Rangers goalie a few years ago as backup? Name escapes me at the moment. And Ben Foster on loan? Or did I dream that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
