Fordy62 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 The only bloke I've ever seen to try and head a goalkeepers kick out while facing the wrong way and trying to guess where the ball was. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Used to love the bloke. Use to come in to my local tesco where I worked the tills for a bit. I was starstruck every time he came in!! What a pleb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman-is-god Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 My password for many years, for work and many other things was Torpey. What a hero. N.B. I have changed my passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Remember his debut v Grimsby, when he scored a great diving header and knew **** all about it 'cos the keeper clattered him and he was out cold. I thought then that we might have the new Robbie Turner... ...not quite, but he wasn't bad... ...and to be fair, he never had a Super Bob alongside him...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Remember him sparking a riot in the Dolman. B block were getting at him, giving him stick. He then scored, prompting C block to shout back about supporting your team. Cue a bit of shouting and a lot of fighting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Didn't fracture or at least badly damage his neck? I seem to remember fans giving him a hard time when he first came back and thinking that it was incredibly unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought then that we might have the new Robbie Turner... ...... My recollection of that day was that the goal he scored didn't involve a collision with the keeper at all. However about 10 minutes after scoring he collided with Mark Lever (who later joined us) and suffered a serious neck injury which affected his balance for some time. When he returned he played a part in our promotion before suffering another unconnected injury (ankle?) that finished his season. He was out of his depth at Championship level but Benny picked him as he improved us defensively and he gave Akinbiyi good support. He was a limited, honest trier that Ward probably paid a bit too much for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the hottest day ever at a football match. Not just due to the weather but the low roof on the away end made it like sitting in a greenhouse!

Swede Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Can't believe Torpey's getting stick when Dicky Dryden's in the dugout as well. I mean Dynamo Dresden what a shocking player he was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 My recollection of Torpey is that he always looked like he was capable of scoring. Anyone who only watched him for a few games might think that he was unlucky not to score, but the reality was he just didn't score often enough.

He also looked like he was giving all he could, which you can't say about a lot of City players down the years. Limited but gave his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited but gave his best. I felt the same about Kevin Nugent as well, I have always had a bit of thing for players who are limited but know it. As long as they stick to what they are good at and don't try to be Maradona they can get themselves a pretty good career. I always think of Richard Pryor who defended Leon Spinks on stage.

Ray White Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Just going back to that era and reminiscing can anyone remember playing Watford on a Bank Holiday Monday in 1998?! Top of the table clash, about 19k in attendance, drew 1-1. Sean McCarthy who was on loan to us at the time scored the equaliser (only goal during his short spell) and then proceeded to do some sort of cartwheel/front flip celebration which was absolutely hilarious considering he was an ageing fat striker.
