I first learned of this in The Bristol Babe by David Woods, unfortunately, my copy isn't accessible to check if Shankly did as well. I have my copy to hand. Will have a looky. Edit: Both!

Keeping to @cidered aboroad 's 76-77 season theme. City's fantastic run in to the famous Coventry match included a home game v. Man.Utd. Finished 1-1, Chris Garland putting City ahead, Jimmy Greenhoff with the 2nd half equaliser. Q: Which 2 players were sent off for fighting, and which Man.Utd player missed the subsequent F.A. Cup final after being stretchered off with a broken leg? No looking up - memories only please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 The first FA Cup goal I saw at Ashton Gate was scored by the father of another City player who scored the deciding goal that gave us promotion on the final day of the season.

I just assumed it was a typo... Edit: just had a quick Google and it says that Bob Shankly went down the mines in Ayrshire just before the war and made football into more of a hobby. As a miner, he would have been in a reserved occupation so wouldn't have been able to join up. So think this is a typo and it was Bill who was in the RAF bases up and down the country that played for City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a point of interest Bill Shankly had 4 brothers, and all 5 were professional footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant as a miner in Ayrshire in Scotland, in a reserved occupation during WW2, he was hardly gonna come down and play for City was he? Whereas Bill being in the RAF and posted all over the place was more likely. In fact, it even says in the piece I quoted, "depending on the availability of players who were based locally". I know for a fact that even before an RAF person saw a plane, they likely saw a few different bases just to complete basic training. I can only assume that Bob continued playing football outside of his regular mining up in Scotland. Edit: He did. He played for Falkirk throughout WW2.

Bill Shankly was actually in the RAF as you say- 'his playing career was interrupted by his wartime service in the RAF' -so less likely to be available for selection imo. He may even have been abroad much of the time. AS well as appearing for Alloa and Falkirk Bob Shankly also played in Tonbridge so was not confined to Scotland, and being a miner in a reserved occupation, who also continued as a professional footballer, he's more likely to have been appearing in matches like that imo. If 'Bob Shankly' hadn't existed, or wasn't a professional footballer himself, then obviously a typo would be likely but as he did it seems it probably was him and very unlikely imo. David Woods would have overseen such a printing error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
