Bamber Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Afternoon Ladies and Gents, gashead in peace. Just heard the sad news that Trevor Jacobs who played for us both in the 60s and 70s has passed away. A few of the older posters on here might remember him. RIP Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Good pro, one of the most consistent players during my youth. It says a lot that he was still well regarded after moving to the Rovers. Top man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Stripe Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Rest in Peace Trevor. Fine servant of both Bristol Clubs. City 130 Apps. 3 Goals. Rovers 82 Apps. 3 Goals. Very talented right back. Lest we forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Trevor was my late Mum's Cousin's son (if that makes sense) and I have a vivid memory if him giving me a pair of his boots when I was in my early teens because my parents couldn't afford to buy some. Watched him many times for City. For those who are too young to remember, he had a touch of the Bradley Orr about him, tough and totally committed. RIP Trev.

swampy Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 pity the official site has yet to comment on TJ passing away.

In the Net Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Trevor was my late Mum's Cousin's son (if that makes sense) and I have a vivid memory if him giving me a pair of his boots when I was in my early teens because my parents couldn't afford to buy some. Watched him many times for City. For those who are too young to remember, he had a touch of the Bradley Orr about him, tough and totally committed. RIP Trev. Thanks for sharing - things like that give a true measure of the man. He was a good player for both Bristol clubs, proper old school - thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Running Man Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Very sad, I think Alec Briggs was left back when I first saw City, would Trevor have followed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
