John Galley, Terry Bush, Mike Gibson, Dickie Rooks and so on. Now you're talking. This is when I started watching City. Big John and Dickie Rooks being my favourites at the time.

He must have been some player to have attracted such plaudits from so many fans from the same era. I however, have fond memories of Seymours (owned and run by Richard and Janice, IIRC) from when a group of us had a table there for The Wurzels supported by Fred Wedlock in the mid-90s. It was carnage but a friendly, West Country, kind of carnage. The buffet was amazing. Such simple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right - "Teachers" was amazing although the continuity was funny being a Bristolian, one minute Egg/Simon/Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) was cycling through Knowle West then he'd turn the corner and be in Clifton Village! Great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
