Busterrimes Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 It was Steve Jones and for £400K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbrisc11 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 That's the one!He was cracking on loan from what i can remember. Then became useless as soon as he signed permanent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Jones wasn't ever on loan, & he was shit as soon as we signed him. Massive waste of money by Pulis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Jones wasn't ever on loan, & he was shit as soon as we signed him. Massive waste of money by Pulis. Right, fat, lazy, injury prone and generally totally useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 As out injured constantly but always topped up his tan nicely. If I remember rightly he left us then went non league pretty much straight away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I think he ended up a bit of a favourite because of that song (not his ability) like Bas Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 As out injured constantly but always topped up his tan nicely. If I remember rightly he left us then went non league pretty much straight away? Apparently he was genuinely disillusioned with how football was going and wanted to take a step back into grassroots and just play for the love of the game. Fair play if this is true and not just cos he couldn't get a club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Right, fat, lazy, injury prone and generally totally useless. Yes, but what a quality tan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 He appeared devoid of ability for a number of games and one rare moment of success was a game I saw up north where he scored the winner in I think a 2-1 win at Scunny. a half volley late on in front of the away fans followed by a huge celebration...???

If I remember rightly he left us then went non league pretty much straight away? As I remember it he formed a good striking partnership with Peter Beadle for a bit of his last season and played well for that small part of his BCFC career.

Harry Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sat in the Dolman (when it used to be good), Jones' debut for us was greeted by my mate saying "Jonesey? Did you fall asleep in your oven!!" Others heard this and began the jonesey tan chant. I'm telling you for sure, between him signing for us and his debut I reckon he went up at least 12 marks on the colour chart!

Red Skin Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Weren't there allegations about a drink problem? Yes, crap for the money when signed and for much of his time at City. But as I recall it he found some form toward the end of his contract when he beat the drink, and was largely 'forgiven' by many fans. Or maybe just me? Cracking song though. (I blame Pulis, but I do for most things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Village Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Always liked the son sung to Wycombe: We got mickey bell we got mickey bell, We got mickey we got mickey we got mickey bell. And we got him cheap and we got him cheap, We got mickey we got mickey we got mickey bell. You can have Steve jones you can have Steve jones, you can have Steve you can have Steve you can have Steve jones.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yes, he did have a run of about ten games where he played well, prior to that he was pony. He was hopelessly unfit when he joined us, but Pulis insisted that he had to play. He was sent out on loan for substantial periods, and everyone was stunned when Danny Wilson said he was giving him a chance. He then surprised us all by showing that when fit he was a decent player. When we signed him a West Ham friend of mine who knew his football told me we were getting a very good striker. I blame Pulis entirely for forcing him to play while unfit.

pride of the west Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Didnt we sign him then we had a bid from bournemouth about 2 weeks later for about 50k more? Im sure this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
