I am pretty sure a Fuchs shirt appeared in The Lightning Seeds 'Football's Coming Home' video, along with 'Bollox', although I have no recollection of the latter playing for either Germany or Austria. Yeh, but Fuchs (currently at Leicester) wasn’t at France 98 - if he was he would have been 12 years old! I don’t think there was a Fuchs at France 98 - although @RED4LIFE may know different as he or she posted it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackofromSanJavier Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Just found another ground the g*s have 'hosted' at, courtesy of His Grace the Duke of Beaufort. I played against 'em at Badminton around 1975 or 76, for the Duke of Beaufort's XI v brfc. To be fair, the lawn at Badminton House is probably the finest surface I've ever graced (well, I only aspired to the Stroud League and later on the 'old' Welsh League!!). Looking at the Pathe footage, I quite like the hay cart stands, what's reckon to they, then? https://www.britishpathe.com/video/badminton-bristol-rovers-v-cardiff-city/query/Bristol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fault as most of the 90's was a bit of a blur. Edit: in fact that is wrong too. He actually played 1 u21 game at some point. It just backs up my point about the 90's.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Courtesy of The Daily Mirror. Charlton Athletic's signing of Anil Koc prompted many a guffaw. It is reminiscent of the time that Manchester United were scouting Schalke's Christian Fuchs, a period that inspired a host of 'Fuchs off to Old Trafford?' headlines and a lot more sniggering. But neither of those two even make it in to our top 20 of rude footballer names... and neither is Danny Shittu! 20) An early England one-cap wonder, Segar Bastard naturally went on to become a referee. 19) Winger Wayne Wanklyn played in the same Reading side as keeper Steve Death. 18) Famously lobbed by Nayim, David Seaman ’s nickname at Arsenal was ‘H’ – short for Harry Monk. Another goalkeeper, Stanislav Seman , was in the Czech side which won Olympic gold in 1980. 17) Filipino keeper Alphonse Areola has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham after impressing at Paris St Germain. 16) Former Grasshoppers striker Andre Muff was a former Switzerland team-mate of Bernt Haas . 15) Briefly in the limelight with Independiente and Celta Vigo, Argentinean striker Mario Turdo is currently without a club. 14) Roberto Martinez’s Wigan reign began to go wrong the moment his move for Chilean centre back Waldo Ponce broke down last year. Instead Ponce joined the best-named team in Chile – O’Higgins. 13) Recently assistant manager at Bury, former centre back Peter Shirtliff ’s name caused giggles at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Wolves and Barnsley. 12) One of Kevin Keegan’s worst signings, Dutch winger Brian Pinas made one substitute appearance in nearly two years before returning to Feyenoord. 11) Finally retired at nearly 40, it’s a lasting regret that Czech defender Milan Fukal failed a week’s trial with Leeds in 2006. 10) Part of the Dutch side thumped 4-1 by England at Wembley in Euro 96, Johan de Kock won an unlucky 13 caps for Holland. 9) A £5m disaster from the John Barnes/Kenny Dalglish management team at Celtic, Rafael Scheidt started only three league games for the Bhoys and later joined Botafogo. He lived up to his name. Briefly linked with the Liverpool vacancy before Kenny Dalglish returned, former Brazil defender Argelico ***** is, unsurprisingly, known as Argel. 7) Chelsea disappointed everyone in 2009 by dropping their interest in Independiente keeper Fabian Assman. 6) The number one club in the Peruvian Andes, widely criticised in the mid-‘00s for moving their stadium to the city of Cerro de Pasco, 4,380 above sea level, are named after a local tribe… Deportivo Wanka. 5) Long linked with a Premier League move, time is running out for an English club to snap up the services of Marseille right back Rod Fanni. 4) Germany’s Under-20 manager, a former East German international and one-club man with Dynamo Dresden, is named Ralf Minge . 3) While at Benfica, Germany keeper Hans-Jorg Butt was briefly understudy to former Portugal No.1 Quim . 2) Fulham boss Martin Jol’s brothers Richard and Cornelius are known as Dick and Cock . “What’s so funny about this?” the scary Dutchman once raged to a Tottenham press conference, as journos stifled their giggles. “Cock is a common name in the Netherlands.” 1) The former Germany striker who enlivened the video for Baddiel and Skinner’s Three Lions remake in ’88, Stefan Kuntz has embraced his name’s brilliance since becoming general manager of Kaiserslautern, by signing both Danny Fuchs and Florian Dick . Have we missed out your favourite rude football name (and before you ask, we think Ars Bandit is a hoax)? Bit off topic, but Ruud Gullit is a bit rude, don't you think? And to be fair, our own Dicks is a bit of a hero in BS3. So much so, I think that the South Stand should really be renamed the Dicks Stand.

RedM Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Their relegation will be one of those ‘where were you’ moments for years to come. I was at Crawley, I can’t even remember the result or anything about the match only that it was glorious weather as our attention was elsewhere! I was having my first experience of Coach One (!) and the return to Bristol was party time, a great laugh ( yes really, they all hate the Gas with passion I didn’t think was possible ). I returned home to discover all the talk was about the Radio Bristol phone in, obviously I had been blissfully unaware. Someone kindly posted a link on here and it certainly extended the celebration! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I quite like the "He ain't going anywhere for less than £10M, that's the going rate for a top striker" = £300k for the snake. That's gaslogic. And whoever "builds" (I mean) erects not one, but two stands without planning permission? The gift . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I know its slightly off the time frame but seeing their 9:0 Spurs capitulation is like a fine wine. It gets better with age. They look more of a pub team every time it comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
