Aizoon Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Jimmy bloody Greaves. Played Spurs off the park at WHL and bloody Greaves did frack all bar score two goals. I'm surprised they didn't provide him with a touchline armchair for the other 88 minutes And David bloody Kelly, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Darius Henderson every time. I think towards the end of his career we rebalanced that one a little. It'll always be David Kelly and Rory Fallon for me. Journeymen strikers with nothing much to make them stand out. Until they played us...........

cityexile Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Wonder if you ask Gillingham fans the same question who they would chose this year? Wonder if there are fans of other clubs out there who have similiar recollections of one of ours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 David Kelly. He could have both legs amputated and he'd still score against us even now. I noticed Jay Simpson was playing for Orient the other night, he's scored against us for at least a couple of clubs in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a CH called Alan Hopper, and in two successive seasons, our home games read: Bristol City 4 Bradford 0 Atyeo (3) Hopper o.g. Bristol City 5 Bradford 0 Atyeo (3) Hopper o,g. (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rag Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Got to be David Kelly. After the Walsall game we were it the bar having a beer with a few of the city players and David Kelly was parading around with the match ball, getting it signed if I remember correctly. One of our crowd Dave Ollis for those that know him went up to DK and asked for a look at the ball, David obliged like a chuffed school kid and gave Ollie the ball. Ollie popped a pound into DKs hand and walked off with the ball. The look on his face was a picture. What a great day out we had, but stinking result.

Red-Robbo Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 At one time - Peter Beadle. We had to buy him to stop him scoring against us. Unfortunately he didn't score much for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yep but also scored 1 or 2 was against the gas at AG???? Certainly one. That overcame the initial suspicion. He was a reasonable striker at this level, but as so often in those days we bought them as their career was on the down-slope rather than up-slope.

Wonder if there are fans of other clubs out there who have similiar recollections of one of ours... A Watford fan I know always says Marvin Elliott Fallon and Henderson are the big one's for me but the legend of David Kelly is one that has been drilled into me from a young age - I think generally we've had bad records against Wolves, Walsall, Tranmere... Chicken or the egg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Steve Bull was asked during a TV interview which club he had scored most goals against. Bull didn't know so the interviewer told him it was Bristol City. Bull was surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
