Bristol Rob Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 One thing celebrating those who enjoyed the trappings of the lifestyle, another laughing at the unwell. To be fair, the first mention of Roberts was sympathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Going back quite a bit, Tony Cook, GK, was often the worse for wear on Boxing Day games. I think ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Most (nearly all) of the squad under Wilson and leading into Tinnons ill fated reign where he tried to get rid of them. 1 hour ago, SecretSam said: I didn't know Tins was a drinker He wasn't and the players didn't like him for it.

Ska Junkie Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Surely Bradley Orr deserves a place? Pissed up down town and getting arrested. Who was the centre half that was with Brad and Brooker? Was it Dave Partridge? Edited November 21, 2023 by Ska Junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 44 minutes ago, FNQ said: Ray Cashley always enjoyed a nice drop… and Donnie Gillies at right back always liked to get a head on it… I remember a story going around the terraces when I was a lad, the players were at a houseparty and wanted some food so they sent a very pissed Cashley out to get something. He apparently came back driving one of those mobile snack vans that he had found on a nearby street. The other player that should get a mention is Gerry Gow. A member of staff at the club at the time told my father that he would drink a quart bottle of whisky a day, even during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno Gomes Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Definitely Cashley for the goalie. A regular at Platform 1 on a Saturday night (along with most of the other team!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the laughs we have had meeting players that are out on lash, Ralph Milne is the tragic side of the story.
