A Horse With No Name Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 While we await the inevitable changes coming up, and we have a quiet spell, how about this for a team for Saturday? Think I'm right in saying that every one of them has a Christian name never seen before at City in our history. Ps I know Tammy is injured but nothing else fits. Fabian Zac. Aden. Bailey. Hordur . Marlon. Jens. Josh. Callum . Tammy. Gustav. it certainly has energy if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 We had Callum Robinson on loan last year. At one point (I don't know if it's still the case) there were 5 Marlons to have played in the league and 3 of them had played for Bristol City: Pack, Harewood and Jackson.

Did you know Iceland is also known for its nordic folklore, not just GoT? Gustav also bows to the mighty Odin. Thinks LJ is a reincarnation of Loki.

22A Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The OP had me wade through the club's history book. We had some rare names in the early years that I'm not aware of being repeated since. Hammer, (that was his name, not nick name). Talbot, Finlay, Reuben, Fergusson, Jock & Ebenezer In the 20's we signed Cecil and in the 80's there was Forbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to hold up a board to bring him on, just blast "U can't touch this" over the PA to announce him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Isn't Tammy actually Kevin? We've had one of those. We'll have to pair Gustav with Shawn (with a W) We've had a Bailey, albeit a surnamed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played in a friendly whilst on a trial at City. If I recall correctly we won the friendly three nil at Plymouth and the guy's name was Slobodan Antic from Radnicki Nis. It has always stuck in my mind for some bizarre reason a bit like Gavrillo Princip who went off the rails a bit, joined the Black Hand Gang and started WWI. Strange, but true, fact. The number plate of the car the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in which effectively started WWI was 111118. That was the date the war ended!!!

Fairly sure they were in the same match squad in about 1982 or 3 but one was on the bench and not sure if all three were on the pitch together.

The 3rd one never played, but I remember seeing Nyrere and Errington playing together at Plough Lane. Must have been about '83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
