Yep, I think you'r e right. Cheese got the opener and Houseman the equaliser in a 1-1 draw. January '76. Only 1 sub. in those days, wonder who the replacement was for Cheese? Fear or Brolly probably. I just remember standing there soaked and freezing from the ride up, and 'not looking forward to the journey home neither.' Oh, and City fans piling out of the ground at the end to one of that season's favourites, 'Aggro time la la la...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of Flappers early games for City and he tried to boot a back pass up the pitch but missed it completely and the ball rolled into the net....... That was Molyneux, unless he did it twice.

I wasn't at Molynuex when he did it again but I did see on the TV. Looking back I'm guessing that Flapper had no serious competition for his place at City.

Red white and red Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 tweeting players loads of questions is one thing, but actually tweeting a family member (who probably has no knowledge whatsoever of how the 'negotiations' are going) is just frightening!

At the time he didn't, but Pulis had very helpfully come out in the press and said he was looking for a new goalkeeper because we didn't have any good ones. Didn't do much good for the confidence of the young keeper who'd only just come through from the youth team. Billy Mercer arrived not long afterwards.

One BCFC Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Personally my gut feeling tells me this one is done as is Magnusson, just waiting for it to be announced like Tomlin which could take days/weeks knowing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember what year but we lost. Monday 11th January 1971. Lost 3-0. Goals from Ron Davies (2) and Brian O'Neil.

Leveller Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I remember the foggy one. Very odd to be behind the goal & see all the players literally disappearing over the halfway line, and having no idea what was going on down the other end.

However you missed the part where, on the return drive home, my brother failed to negotiate a right hand bend on a very dark country road and drove his Rover 90 through a farm gate and straight into a ploughed field.
