Not many matches have come close to that since. Not the 1987 Gary Smart game. I was physically sick after that game. Living with a couple of 15ers at the time didn't help, either ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scabby away following, they had just the one third of the Open End, and that wasn't exactly packed to the Mike Rafters. It's where the term the "Few" came from, their crap numbers in the 80s, until they started doing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no schoolboy / youth system when he took over following the crash, and he spent many evenings , and time , to drive a plan and improvement to rectify this , with our first version of an academy. Umm not the first… surely the man before him not only worked on the health of the club but kept it alive and there’s no way Jordan would have come anywhere near Ashton Gate without Terry Cooper being here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely , Terry saved the Club as such by the job he did with our first team He simply didn’t have the support m finance or facility to do anymore He had a submarine to stop sinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen Paul Simonon once play a Clash track...and it wasn't for the Clash. It was for David Alban's band, the Good, the bad and the queen, at the Trinity. The lads from Massive Attack gave my mate a lift back to London that night. Good time had that evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fork knows what he makes of Luton being above Birmingham, and Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton, Fulham ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 The reason I started truly supporting City. Love the bloke. He was always my favourite City manager, until the last one. How I wish we still had either of them. Happy Birthday, Joe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point, why do those running the place keep going back to head coaches?? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I met Joe on a number of occasions. He was a great character and a lot more fun that some might imagine. Also, always willing to help a good cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
