I remember one of the centre backs going off injured at Notts County and he dropped back to centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bob got a hat trick What a night that was , we ended up sitting in the seats along the side with the Swansea fans and a certain person from Tetbury went for a pee and missed two goals. When we scored our fifth one of our lot was baying for more when an old Welsh sailor in front said my boy if you score again your are is going out that window!

RED4LIFE Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Probably my favourite City team of all time. Great season (apart from the game at Trumpton obviously) that was. Gotta say though, the football played in those highlights is awful although the pitch certainly didn't help. Good to see some proper challenges going in too, with no players rolling around after the slightest touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Vialli and Zola up front, Dessaily and Le Buff at the back, and Johnny Bumstead in midfield? What a team, couldn't live with us mind.... I think you're around a decade out !

One BCFC Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 City team 89/90: Leaning, Sinclair, Llewellyn, Humphries, Newman, Bryant, May, Pender, Smith, Gavin, Shelton, Rennie, Bent, Taylor, Turner, Morgan, Ferguson, Horrix.

Devereux Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 My first live FA Cup game, I was 11. Remember walking out the ground after and we had to walk past the Chelsea supporters in the open end, my step dad had to hide me under his coat as a rain of sharpened coins came down on us. My step dad got cut pretty bad, scarey stuff for an 11 year old! the Chelsea fans that day were obviously not happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope was Newman and Humphries apart from start of the season when Pender played. If I remember rightly Wimbledon came in for a few games in midfield can't remember is shells or Rennie were injured or it was tactical. He got bombed out after the Tranmere debacle after bumming around in a hastily arranged training/friendly not long after. Only time Rennie went to the back was as cover after a injury during games in that season. Biff and Rennie could interchange to let Newman get forward during games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff and Rennie could interchange to let Newman get forward during games Wimbleton started the season in the side because Shelton joined after a couple of games, but as you say, he was fired out pretty quickly by Joe. My recollection is that he played on the right instead of Gavin (or with Mark played as a striker instead of Robbie Turner) with Shelton and Rennie a virtually permanent fixture in centre mid on those rare occasions that he did get in.

lenred Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Bloody brilliant. When did football change so much, this wasn't THAT long ago! Proper challenges, team spirit, no rolling around after a tackle, not even much arguing with the referee! And what an atmosphere. Heady days indeed. Shame I was too young back then and couldn't really understand it all or be properly involved it must've been great to be in your late teens / twenties back then with no responsibilities, I can certainly see why people hark back to those days..........

The worst of it for me was it was my bloody birthday and not only did I have to suffer the match I had to put up with them calling their fanzine The Second Of May for years afterwards. It was only redeemed many years later when they got relegated to the 4th division on the same date and strangely the fanzine disappeared shortly afterwards.

That must have been like my misery x1000!! But like you said, Wycombe relegated them on the same date to annihilate their fanzine title and they went down to the Conference on nearly the same date - was it May 3rd?? Anyway, they won't admit it but they are gutted to see our new ground and how it dominates the south Bristol skyline. They left Eastville, playing the last game in front of a pitiful, tiny crowd. Then moved to a non league ground and then back home to steal the rugby ground from Bristol. But look at them now! I'll never forget the post on their forum (seems like years ago now!) along the lines of: "The diggers are moving in in September and we will then pass the sh*t on the way up and will forever be the premier club in Bristol with the best ground" - so, how did that work out for them?!
