Negan Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just announced on twitter that he is retiring from football. I've been going to city for about 10 years or so now and he has to be the best Right Back I've seen down the gate, I know a few older ones will have probably seen better but for me he's #1. Quite a few memories stick out, his hat trick when we played Doncaster, his passion for city and his bromance with Basso! A great player for our club and I wish him all the best for the future!

Kermit the Frog Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Don't remember the hatrick, but I do remember that cross field ball he played to Maynard for the second goal vs Newcastle at AG. Just Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI_Red Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Think the hat-trick remark is a reference to him scoring 2 plus an OG in 5-2 Doncaster defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottsciderarmy Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Probably made a few quid in the states and happy to retire with a few quid under his belt. Shame he didn't fancy one more season back in the Championship helping out the team that got him noticed to get his big money moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention head-butting Louis at Northampton - oddly, probably the turning point of the promotion season - and doing time for affray. I still wonder what might have happened if the City physio had realised how serious his injury was in the play off final, and he had been substituted straight away...

HoldenBall Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I still wonder how Carle missed that sitter.... Trundle missed the sitter! Had literally an open goal and decided to smack the ball on to the defender lying on the goal line rather than one of the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Bradders got slated for not being able to pass or cross a ball but one thing he could do better than most was DEFEND! Excellent one on one defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceRed Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Remember a great goal he scored at Carlisle in our promotion season. Left footed curler into the top corner from an angle. I was in line with it and can still picture it going in. Important win that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southvillekiddy Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Bradley Orr and Adriano Basso were the heart of Johnson's team. The heart was ripped out of us when they left. It's taken us all this time to get back to having a determined ethos in our team. Very best of luck to both of them wherever they are and whatever they do.

Dave Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Bradley Orr, a player who always gave 100% for our Club. I always remember the fantastic reception we gave him, after his short enforced break, when he warmed up with the team (I don't think he was playing that day.) One of my favourite ever City players, as he was fantastic in the promotion and play off seasons under GJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Definitely in my top 3 City players of all time. I don't think it would be too harsh, (hope he understands if he reads this!) that he was 30% ability and 70% heart and pure determination. A lovely bloke, shame the Blackburn fans turned against him, they didn't love him like we did. I don't like the jobs for the boys type appointments, and I doubt if we could lure him away from Liverpool, but he would be perfect at community stuff, linking to the fans etc. Well liked and well respected, and not afraid to speak his mind.

Chairman Mao Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 that playoff final was seriously unlucky on our behalf, no highlights of it seem to exist on youtube to illustrate this, I could've sworn he had a few glorious opportunities attacking our end in the second half problem of the season though, byfield finished top scorer, byfield!

Andy-1 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Brad always gave 100% for City. I wish him well on his next venture. He played a blinder and scored a great goal v Reading in the 3-3 draw at home (Or was it Forest). Top bloke anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
