Voting is now open for the next inductions into the Bristol City Hall of Fame. Those on the Supporters Club & Trust mailing list would have received this information already...

The Supporters Club & Trust launched the Hall of Fame in 2011. At a fantastic event hosted by Angus Scott and attended by such legends as Gerry Gow & Bob Taylor, the first 13 names were added to the Hall of Fame, in dispersed with a fun quiz between team captains Scott Murray and Louis Carey.

In total, twenty-nine players plus Harry Dolman & Alan Dicks have been inducted into the Hall of Fame since it was inaugurated in 2011 by the Supporters Club & Trust. They are:

John Atyeo, Mickey Bell, Jack Boxley, Louis Carey, Ray Cashley, Paul Cheesley, Gary Collier, Alan Dicks, Tommy Doherty, Harry Dolman, Brian Drysdale, Alec Eisenträger, John Emanuel, Keith Fear, Mike Gibson, Donnie Gillies, Gerry Gow, Bobby Kellard, Jimmy Mann, Geoff Merrick, Scott Murray, Rob Newman, Tom Ritchie, Gerry Sweeney, Trevor Tainton, Bob Taylor, Mike Thresher, Brian Tinnion, Alan Walsh, Billy Wedlock, Clive Whitehead.

Now it’s time to induct a fourth group into the Hall of Fame, and voting is now open online here.

Please cast your votes on the following pages for one player/manager from each of the following double decades:

1940s/50s
1960s/70s
1980s/90s
2000s

You may not be familiar with players from a certain era. No problem, simply skip any questions for which you have no vote by using ‘Next‘.

The new inductees will be presented to fans on an individual basis at appropriate home matches later this season.

The first City Women players to be inducted; Loren Dykes & Corinne Yorston; will be included in these presentations, as announced earlier on in the year.

How am I supposed to choose between Mick Harford and Glyn Riley ??‍♂️

I went for Riley based on his longevity, big fan of Mick, but he didn’t even play a full season for us, not that it was his fault.

Riley was also a big part of our revival under TC, his first signing & one of his very best.

The two nominees for 2000's are a joke!

If that's the standard, there are dozens of players and managers from 1900 to 1960 who should be there. Cottle, Staniforth, Clay, Thickett from 1909, Tot Walsh and Alec Raisbeck, Jack White, Ivor Guy, Jimmy Rogers, Don Clark, Tony Cook, Ginger Peacock, Jack Bailey .

I accept that many current fans have little or no knowledge but just look at what those above achieved. Perhaps I'm fortunate that my father had seen the remnants of the 1909 Cup Final side and every era following before I saw my first City game some seventy two years ago.

So did I, same reasons.  Although Mick will always be the first City player I adored.

Maybe he kept picking up the paychecks till then! :laughcont:

(I wonder who Evil Twin will vote for in the 2000s category? :whistle2:)

Tbh had he been I don't think we go down in 2013 even if the hard reset was perhaps needed in hindsight and gave us room to breathe etc.

Perhaps he could even have rebuilt us stronger.
