Never to the dark side Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Going back when he was with between 1982 and 1987. On HTV Sport he said his wife had taped over "HIS" tape of all the goals he had scored for Bristol City His wife accidently over taped something called "Coronation Street" Glyn contacted HTV to see if they could get a new tape of all his City goals, and they duly did. Can any one recall when this event occured? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Malaggro is back Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I can remember an article about him when he'd stopped playing and had just started a curtains and soft furnishing business. I reckon that would have been about 1988. Sorry, don't remember the great VHS fiasco caused by Mrs R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that really is the dark side! You are not wrong myol'man. I know of numerous Kewstoke familes where the children were plagued with rickets for years. No sun from October through to March.

It appears that the Major has dropped the batton. Just imagine if they were both starting threads at the same time - we couldn't have a more lethal partnership unless we paired Bas Savage with Peter Styver.

John Galley Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Signed by Terry Cooper from Barnsley. A BCFC legend a forward that scored goals and always gave 100% that is what made him a fans favourite. I remember when he left us and went to Aldershot and when they played against us at Ashton Gate, the referee booked him and all the City fans booed the ref. Not long after he gave up football and said it was never the same after leaving us. He then moved to Weston and opened a curtain business with his wife.

Didn`t he also say something about the welcome he got when he came back to AG as well? IIRC the whole ground stood and applauded him off the pitch.

MrBibs Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I loved Glyn too (also in a manly way). His passion for the club was amazing. Bunked off school once to go to Bolton away on a Tuesday night. Burnden Park was massive and felt like I was a long way from the pitch. Couldn't tell him apart from Neville. We won 4-1 and I knew all 4 goals were scored by a combination of Neville/Riley. Didn't know until next day it was Neville 3 Riley 1, although the man of the match voting on coach 2 should have given me a big clue, even though I voted Riley.
