Calculus Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Crikey, is this still going on? I reckon the OP is talking about Bruce Grobelaar and the betting/match fixing episode. I expect you all know this and that I'm just about to get the biggest 'whoosh' of my life. OK, Louie - right or wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) So, Grobbelaar was first accused of match fixing in November 1994. At that time he was at Southampton and didn’t play a fixture against Bristol City in that season He played for Plymouth in the 96/97 season. We played a 0-0 draw at Home Park on 19 October 1996. Bruce played in this match and there were a number of fans in the away end who were waving money at him. I can definitely confirm that, as I was there. In the return fixture at Ashton Gate, on 26th April 1997, Bruce didn’t play. Here are the goals from that game. Bruce is not the goalie. So, it is possible that someone was handing out fake tenners in the East End that day, but they would never have been able to wave them at Bruce, as he wasn’t playing. In summary, cash was waved at Bruce at Home Park, but definitely not at Ashton Gate, as he wasn’t playing.

Unless it was away fans waving tenners at their own goalkeeper that wouldn’t have been us in 97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they also play for Plymouth? Was it when Warnock was there? I can’t imagine someone known as a fairy or bunny would have played under Warnock! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
