Gazred Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Cult hero for sure. No other player quite like him. Built like a bookcase from the waist up, feet like a ballerina. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 JET didn't often move fast - but that was because he didn't have to. His vision and close-control was astounding. He could sprint when he wanted to, but he was happiest with the ball tight to his feet, weaving it past defenders and into the box. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 He didn't have to run as if a fast bowler when taking a penalty either! Even a slow round the wicket spinner was faster than Jet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Top boy. Some of my favourite City players have been ones that sometimes 'appeared' lazy. JET, Brett Pitman, David Seal etc. Didn't need to run around a la Liam Robinson... they could win the game in ten seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 10 years to the day since we last played them in any form of competitive football. Over 22 years since we last played them in a league game. We went from 1963 to 1981 without losing to them. I can never make my mind up if I miss the derby games or happy we’re always above them. My favourite games, at Eastville for the one nil down two one up cup match, when we were in a division below. The Louie Donowa one nil victory at AG , the first time we’d beaten them for what seemed like ages, about 8 games I think. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunny had 3 different keepers in 20 minutes which is another story). Also, I witnessed Jet taking a pen and scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 His inconsistency was his strength one game unplayable the next game you didn’t know he was on the pitch but god I loved the unplayable jet , great times hopefully to return really wish Scott would have give us one more season think he could have been our modern day jet but with more consistency.

GrahamC Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Loved him, had genius level skills. When it was dire under O’Driscoll (which frankly was most of the time) he was often the only thing worth watching. Took the slowest penalties ever & this goal is arguably the best I have seen in a game against the blue few in 50 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one home game under Cotts (won 4-0) where I thought the full back that was supposedly marking him was going to cry. He was beating him for skill time after time so he tried to get physical & put his shoulder into him & JET knocked him somewhere almost into North Somerset. We had the best of him & even when we as a team were crap, he was outrageously good. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one division below them (they were Div 3, we were Div 4.). That match (Dec 1983) is one of my favourite ever City memories - was rammed in the away end at Eastville that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Infamously there was only ever, at most, one division between us until they went non league. But that FA Cup victory is the best I have ever felt at a football match. We were City. We were back. It was good. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limbs the like you will never see again. I ended up in a different postcode to one of my shoes when what turned out to be the winner went in. I even got my shoe back.
