supercidered Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I am a city fan for nearly forty years and am writing a book which includes some players that have been signed that to put it mildly were not great pieces of business. I'm looking for the funny, the stupid money paid for, the just plainly ridiculous and any other player you feel needs a mention. If you could give an example of the player's time at City then all the better as once the draft of the book is done.... I can then include your quote in the book, with your permission. I'm looking at players from the 70's onwards please. An example for you.... Bas Savage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tony Caldwell. Came with a pretty big reputation from Bolton but was disappointing for us and didn't last long. Marvin Harriott. Just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tony Dinning. One of the best loan signings we have ever had, one of the worst perm signings we have ever had. Probably the worst in my time, if only because he was great until we signed him! Velicka has to be up there too, after playing about three minutes then getting crocked.

Major Isewater Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Many players signed just for the quality of our physio and treatment room. Notably Sean "call me an ambulance " Dyche,Lee "i'll be back "Matthews,Ryan "not so tough" Taylor and Paul "i used to be good believe me" Mortimer. It would be cruel to include Steve Brooker because although crocked he did actually have an effect on the history of Bristol City. An honourable mention goes to the countless loanees who waited until their first match to get injured with us ,hello Elokobi ,Velicki and friends. Good luck with the world's longest book .

Aizoon Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sorry guys, but it has to be Gus Caesar. We had high hopes of him when he came from Arsenal, but he turned out to be total carp.
