Hi Septic, apologies to crash your conversation and good luck with everything. Speaking as one with experience of zyban (and other pharmaceuticals *cough* in the dim distant past). If the Zyban is the same stuff as ten years ago just keep an eye on your moods, it effects people in different ways and if the active ingredient is not 'your thing' chemistry wise you may feel down, if it's for you then happy days!

My favourite season supporting City as well! Was it Norwich away where we finally went down? Can't remember the opponents exactly, but the atmosphere and support given to the team that day was amazing considering the position we were in. I also remember arriving at Grimsby for an evening game, and being asked by a young City fan (14 years old maybe, on a good day) if he could get a lift home as he had bunked off school, got the train up and just discovered there were no trains back to Bristol! Unfortunately there were two of us and we were in a two seater car so couldn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy is not the word mate...doing as many as I can fit in, during any spare time...don't want to let anyone down. As for Riley...I wouldn't discount the idea that Riley played from the programme. Books often take information from the internet etc. It can be wrong. Someone who was at the game, and made the alteration in the programme that day, could be more accurate, if you get my drift. Have been at it again...a Commission for the Team that beat Liverpool at Anfield in 1994. I've had a go at Recreating Brian Tinnion scoring the winner...didn't come out too bad...I'm really happy with it.

I worked on the 1986 book for David Woods and assisted with subsequent publications of his and can categorically state that all the records used are taken from newspaper reports of each match. David Woods did the vast majority of Bristol City games in that particular book while I concentrated on Bedminster and Southville. On one occasion, while researching a Clifton weekly paper and one called The Bedminster Budget and Weekly Advertiser of the 1890s, I found reference made to a Bristol City photograph in a magazine called The Golden Penny. At that time it was the oldest picture of a City team ever found. However, this has since been superseded by some a year or two older than that. Loads of local and national papers are consulted, both at the Central Library and at Collindale in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Forgot to add that with the matches since about the 1970s, David Woods keeps his own records to save trips to libraries but checks them against contemporary newspapers. The only licence he takes is in reports of matches from say the 1940s, where in the report of the match there is no mention of when a goal is scored. If this is the case with all available sources he records the goal, if it came in the second half, as being in the 67th minute as that is halfway through the half. There is logic in this as he says that if it wasn't the 67th minute, then some old chap will write to him and point out that he was there and is sure the goal was scored with about five minutes to go. David then amends his record of the game to show the time the goal was notched as now being the 85th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some good responses from parts of the speedway community, but according to his son, his father rode other meetings at other tracks. I'm also wanting to research some of the 77-78 seasons.

spudski Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 More fun...for some of you old 'ens...the 'Cheese' Immortalised in Subbuteo...scoring THAT famous header against the mighty Arsenal... Quote... "When Bristol City took on mighty Arsenal on August 21st, 1976, no one gave us a chance. Malcolm 'Supermac' MacDonald, Arsenal's major summer import boasted to the Fleet Street hacks how many he was going to score and the number of goals the Gunners were going to win by. "The summer of 1976 was a scorcher - denim jeans and waistcoats - afro hair was the real deal, and after 11 seasons in Division 2 (old), City had become a large fish in a very small pond - now they were a very small fish in the ocean! "The City hordes assembled on the Clock End at Highbury, and it was hot. Geoff Merrick led the team out to a rousing reception, and kicked towards the North Bank. Soon City got into their stride, Trevor Tainton, often the unsung hero played with style, stroking passes around, (Gerry) Gow chased, Merrick swept up, and in truth Arsenal were second to everything. "Super Mac went off with broken ribs after clashing with (Gary) Collier in the 29th minute. "Into the second half, City always looked the better side, and when Paul Cheesley headed in Clive Whitehead's cross into the Clock End goal, the scene at Highbury was one of ecstatic thousands from Bristol. "City's win that day remains one of the finest wins in the history of the club The following afternoon City featured on London Weekend Television's: "The Big Match". The day was taken up reading every Sunday paper report of our historic win - watching The Big Match before tasting the cider. Without a doubt, it was one of the best weekends in living memory."

Having played for Everton between 1890-92, Wyllie did not cross Stanley Park as such because Everton (they still weren’t the Blues), were still playing their home games at Anfield. Wyllie joined the newly-formed Liverpool in 1892 and had the distinction of netting the first ever goal in a meeting between the sides in a 1-0 victory in the Liverpool Senior Cup final on April 22, 1893. After retiring in 1898 he moved to the Bristol district of Bedminster where he became a newsagent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says he was our striker but nothing about how many goals he scored. Did a little more digging...from a Liverpool website... Liverpool were elected to the Second Division after winning the Lancashire league, but Wyllie stayed in Lancashire with Bury which had finished third while Liverpool took the championship. Bury were runners-up a year later, but were elected to the Second Division which the Greater Manchester club won at the first attempt. Fate would have it that Bury's opponents in the Test match in which the bottom club of the First Division played the Second Division champions would be between Bury and Wyllie's old club, Liverpool. Bury won 1-0 and Wyllie played two seasons in First Division before moving to amateur club Bristol City in the close season in 1897 and scoring 19 goals in 31 games. He retired a year later from the game only 26 years of age and became a newsagent in Bedminster. 5 minutes ago, Marina's Rolls Royce said: Can you do me an Ian Baird?

Noticed the first picture of bedminster, the bloke sat down with the bowler hat. I think he is the same man in the bristol city picture standing at the back without the hat. Interesting team kit colour, can't make out if the socks are red or blue. http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=bedminster Thanks for that Threshing Red but that is not the one. The picture I located was from 1898 and City were in red shirts and it appeared in the Golden Penny a national magazine along with a two page article. I have got the article somewhere if I can find it I will post it on here. It includes a bit about Sam Hollis. The Golden Penny was running a series of articles on Association Football clubs.

Getting some great memories - well done all I agree mate...I like the way it meanders...it's not just about 'Subbuteo' Artwork...the Art brings back memories of games, players and our Clubs history. During the off season, it's great to reflect, remember, and chat about all that's great about our club. I'm loving the talk of our early days...and have found a couple websites I didn't know existed showing pics of players etc, all because of this thread...fantastic stuff :-) I'll try and keep it going ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like I've wiped them from my memory, or got the alcohol to do it for me. When talking about that time all I can think of is leaving the ground after Bradford humped us and that was before Wolves did similar the next game !! @spudski I'd love to see your take on a post Freight Rover Terry Cooper, I love that interview no false tears there.

I was at both games...both a nightmare result wise...but for some reason we still had a fight in us. I think most fans came to realise that JW had left us in a mess, and got behind Benny and the team, as they knew it wasn't their fault and they were trying their hardest. Always remember the passion and joy benny showed when things did go right. As for creating Terry Coopers tears of joy in 00 scale...that could be a step too far...but who knows...I'll have to think about that one mate :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have met some really nice forum members since doing this...lovely people, great to put faces to names...and everyone is completely different to how you imagine them :-) Had a lovely idea to tie in some season tickets with the Double Winners Artwork...will look great hanging together...and bring back fond memories. Thanks again for the commissions, have enjoyed doing them and will continue to do so...always a bonus meeting fellow City fans too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 The Legend...Johann Cruyff...just had to be done. Remember practicing this 'move' in the playground as a kid, and eventually pulling it off in a school game against Bromley Heath...put their LB on his backside and lobbed the keeper...can remember it like it was yesterday...a wonderful feeling...one of those 'moments' in life ;-) Can you think of any iconic 'moves' that are ingrained on your mind, that were done by City players?

Not only because of City getting to the top flight that year but because I actually played a fair bit of subutteo at that time. I fear they will be expensive because of the work involved, but that isn't a criticism it is actually a compliment to how good, and unique, it is. Apologies for putting this back up again, but I didn't take any contact details and you can't attach pics to pm's. Give me a pm fella. Probably my favourite ever City kit as well ;-) How good were we that day :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
