Norn Iron Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I've got to a certain age whereby my memory could be called into question. However, on today's BCFC site page about AVFC it states that the bloke heading the ball is Dave Rodgers. I'm right, aren't I? I'll withhold the name of who I think it is in case I'm wrong (I'm obviously not man enough).
1960maaan Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Bouncing around on the back seat of the car, trying to see it on my phone but, looks like Jimmy Mann to me.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Definitely Jimmy Mann. No question,
cheshire_red Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Definitely not Rogers, shape of head and jaw completely different.
Nogbad the Bad Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 100% Super Mann. The Villa player is more of a teaser - Gordon Cowans?

handsofclay Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Jimmy Mann. I actually seen the same pic on eBay a few days ago and on there it says David Rogers. I think it was erroneously captioned by Shoot Magazine. The daft thing was the same person is selling another, proper pic, of David Rogers which is actually him. It is Jimmy Mann 100%. If it was Rogers he wouldn't need to jump.
Gert Mare Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 It's Jimmy Mann against Gary Shelton This is big Dave!

GrahamC Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Strange to see a picture of Shelts with so much hair, as it had definitely started to recede by the time he joined us. What a top player he was, got stuck in (as you could in those days), got his fair share of goals without taking penalties or free kicks and gave us that bit of experience you always need in the centre of the pitch. Inspired move by Big Joe to get rid of McClaren and bring him in as a swap, now, if I could just remember the name of that bloke who suggested that we should sign him in the second ever edition of The Bountyhunter .
ExiledAjax Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Is the tagline necessarily linked to the photo? You could read them as unrelated. A picture of two players and then an unrelated statement that Rodgers scored. It doesn't say "(above)" or "picture of". I'm being (very) generous in giving the site the benefit of the doubt but perhaps the author knew what they were doing?
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Fwiw - Still think it's Collier ! Look at the marking on his right jaw line & cheek and compare with Colliers right jaw line / cheek Quite a few sure about Jimmy Mann so guess I'm wrong tho !

The caption on the first picture actually says 'jimmy Mann and Gary Shelton' or am I being a complete muppet ?

Hi Chaz it does! However, if you see my original post all will be revealed. I've just reread the Site's blurb underneath that photo. Yer tiz! The only mention of Jimmy Mann is in the starting 11. So whilst another poster was being kind to the journalism in the hope that it might explain the error, I think they have got it wrong this time!
'Orns Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I don't care who the City player is, although it's defo Jimmy Mann Any random thread where the merits of Gary Shelton is discussed is fine with me. What a player

Thanks you have just made me feel old, where did a teenage Howard Pritchard come from?
cidered abroad Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Have come direct to the bottom of page so as not to see any other answers. JIMMY MANN. Wihout doubt. I think the Villa player is John Gregory.
