Superjack Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 2 hours ago, MarcusX said: Where have you seen he had a knock? He was just left out wasn't he? Odd decision, but he only had about 5 goals that season, he wasn't prime form Lita at that stage - still would have caused Brighton massive problems, didn't they have a really slow defence that day? Saw the tweet though and couldn't believe he was still playing. Southern League Prem at 38, fair play. Don't feed it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denbury Red Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 One of my favourite memories was of him scoring 3 goals in 12 minutes against Torquay in the mist - I live 8 miles from Torquay so going to work on the Monday was great!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now it makes sense why he rates Wilson so highly, he has invented "alternative facts" to be able to overlook the failings the rest of us judge him by. My favourite thing about Robbored's Wilson side was how they were all tee-total and tucked up safely in bed by 8pm on a Saturday evening. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 3 hours ago, GrahamC said: As the years pass I have more tolerance for his nonsense behaviour off the pitch because if anyone had a tough start in life, he did. On the pitch he was bloody good, strong, quick & a proper goalscorer. Only at City though could we have a 50 goal strike partnership & fail to even make the playoffs or the season before have a clown in charge who didn’t even put him on the subs bench for the most important game of the season. Him and Brooker in their prime was one of my favourite combinations , Lita beating men for pace and poaching . Then Brooker with his strength guile and ability to score outside the box .

I remember a couple of goals at MK Dons when they were at the Hockey Stadium as well as Brentford where he seemed to zip about everywhere before anyone else had moved to bundle the ball over the line anyway he could.

Barry Sheene Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) First memory of Lita was a pre season friendly at Hereford where we won a penalty which Liam Rosenoir was about to take but Leroy was having none of it and snacthed the ball and duly put the penalty away. Could see we had something different from that day on. Edited August 2, 2023 by Barry Sheene spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderHead92 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 To be fair Lita was quality. Remember I must of been about 11 or 12 when he started breaking into the side. One of my favourite city strikers. Nasty little **** aswell. Funniest thing was his eyebrows, proper patterns in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where u get your info?............but it is just NOT true. Leroy was left on the bench, despite him being fit and healthy. Although It is now history, he would probably have scored at least a hat-trick, and been MOM? PS. If you are trying to be wittily ironic, i apologise.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Did he really get a touch for the fourth goal at Mansfield though? That’s what I’ve always wanted to know… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Scored an England under 21 goal whilst at City too. Can't think we've had anyone do that since? Maybe Tammy, but he was on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are trying to be wittily ironic, i apologise. He makes it up to fit his agenda, especially when the glorious Danny Wilson and his band of merry (or pissed) men are mentioned. Wilson didn't think he was good enough and/or ready to start that game. Simple. No training ground injury or knock (first time I've ever heard that), he just wasn't picked. A mistake that could have cost Wilson his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtrojan Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 What a dreadful performance that was .We were desperate for something different up front . All ifs and buts I guess ,the LB for Brighton that day was a certain Nathan Jones the popular manager on this board!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
