Saying that he was slow & very mechanical, nothing ever looked like he did it naturally. Scored a fair few in the Ward promotion season but even that year he missed a lot of games through injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby away on the opening day of the season, wasn’t it? I was there and remember him scoring from outside the box for probably the only time in his City career. Pretty sure he clashed heads with Mark Lever, who joined us not long after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Can recall getting a lesson ftom Bradford at home, was a dire day under Benny I think, the Bradford fans started singing your just a team full of torpeys, harsh but not far away from the truth, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I vividly recall a cup match v Everton where him and David Unsworth went at it toe to toe. No quarter asked or given from either player. A real old fashioned CB v CF battle and to the ref`s credit he just let them get on with it. They went off at the end with their arms round each other`s shoulders - mutual respect from one hard man to another. You wouldn`t see it today - both would be booked in the first ten minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
