pongo88 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I can remember this photograph from the Evening Post. I'm sure it was designed to show City had the tallest team in the league. Savino and Peters were short and Gibson wasn't the biggest, but the average height of the team was pretty big. (Remember, people were a lot shorter in the 60s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southvillekiddy Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Brilliant, brilliant picture. Did any other club use this formation for a Squad photo. If not then it is the work of someone at City with real vision. Excellent mate thanks to whoever found it. If that is John Giles, played basketball against him when he was at Brislington Comp and I was at St. Brendans. Terry Bush looks flipping massive don't he? And as for Chuck Drury, well brick sh1thouses used to queue up to get lessons in being hard. Could you see Gordon Parr, Chuck and Bush wearing gloves on the pitch? Brilliant happy, happy days.

havanatopia Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I see Brian Clough is all on his own at the back there. What might have been heh; such lack of foresight by the City board in not promoting him from the boot room. Shameful. And to think we let George Best go as well... unbelievable really. Oh what might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest as they say is Bristol City OTIB history... Anyone spotted Stacey Penton down the Gate today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
