Wivs7 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’m trying to trace a player who made the subs bench against the Rovers on the 17 August 1988 in a 3-0 defeat at Twerton in the Gloucester Cup. All I know is that his name was Ainsley no idea if that is his first name or last name. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Doing a bit of research on this, I found an Ainsley alongside a City player! Closest I've got so far.. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/taylor-moore-of-england-u20-and-ainsley-maitland-niles-of-news-photo/613810584 Edited December 15, 2021 by New Dazzler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Just checked the surname in this book. No Bristol City player was mentioned. There were only 2 with the name of Ainsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’ve done a bit of research and im pretty sure the answer doesn’t exist on the internet. The highlights do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 That spoon bender uri geller shouldnt have been allowed to buy exeter. He freely admits to using his powers to move the ball, n the england vs scotland game. Surely this needs looking into by the fa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to live in Nailsea. One of my heroes is Phil Crump of Bristol Bulldogs speedway fame. His son Jason became World Speedway Champion.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I reckon it was Ainsley Dunbar. He soon got drummed out of the club though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
