He scored 13 goals in three seasons and Phil Jevons bagged 11 in two seasons……pretty crap for strikers. Jevons had the nickname ‘turbo’ as he was so slow……… Jevons was fine. 11 in 41 in L1 which included numerous sub appearances. Then he was binned off once we reached the Champ quite rightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Nicky Maynard was extremely unpopular come the end I remember he ducked out of a header at Brighton and that was about his final act in a City shirt Nicky Maynard's Bristol City exit influenced by fans - BBC Sport Edited November 21, 2023 by cidercity1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Cooper paid about £30k for him I think which was a lot for us back in the 80’s. My one memory of him was ballooning the ball over the bar when he was put through at Eastville. We lost 1-0 to a Holloway goal and can’t remember him playing for us again?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was during one game ,which so so memorable that I've forgotten who it was against, he was on the bench and stood to warm up. Big shout from the crowd of "sit down Stanley" , in my memory he actually sat back down, though it was a long time ago. In my opinion "Bang average" is being too kind. I remember reading about this incident in a Chelsea fanzine of the time. The author was quite upset and staggered that Stanley- who was apparently a bit of a hero in those parts- was so unpopular at Ashton.

Commoner Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Ralph Milne. Remember being chastised by a fellow city fan for shouting encouragement rather than abuse away at Walsall. Alex Ferguson fancied him after having him at Aberdeen and signed him for Man U. Ralph scored one absolute cracker in front of the East End but struggled being accused of being lazy.

Somewhere in the middle ranking over the years for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, so it’s absolute horseshit to suggest that he was either unpopular or poor. Edited November 21, 2023 by GrahamC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but apart from it being 17 goals in 1 season rather than 11 goals in 2 seasons you have to say it’s wonderfully accurate analysis that we’ve all come to know and love. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
