1981vg Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Hi fellow reds, just wanted to know if anyone knows the game in which Gerry has his hand on Kenny Stephens chest & pointing the finger at him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981vg Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 I think it might be 1975-76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Not sure about that but I do remember a similar picture with him and Frankie Prince. I remember Gerry's first game for City when he broke into the team as a youngster. Not often you see a youngster hit the ground running like he did and he was good enough right from the start. He had a lot of great attributes as well as being a destroyer in the middle of the park, he also had a bit of skill, could pick out passes and popped up with quite a few goals too. My favourite player ever to put on a City shirt by some margin, even though there have been a lot of other excellent ones over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the famous GG picture was with Stephens, some people just assumed it was Prince because he was supposedly Rovers' hard man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who as we both know, Noggers “went missing” on a regular basis when faced with Gerald.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gow's first game was at Charlton last match of 1969-70 season. I guess that there weren't many City fans at the Valley that day. Similar ending to this season. 5 defeats and three draws and we finished 14th in Second Division. Not much has changed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981vg Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 Found out that the famous photo of Gow & Stephens was at eastville in 1976. It was a 0-0 & City went up to be promoted 16th April on a Good Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly did and I suspect on this occasion Gerry had already shown Prince who was boss in no uncertain manner very early on in that game. Prince then no doubt scurried away and made sure he wasn't within 5 yards of GG for the rest of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I guess it was his first home game then as I didn't go to away games in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, no one comes near him in my eyes, i imagine the only City player of the last 100 years to top him would be Big John who was just before my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game in which he came to prominence was the 1st game of the following season, 1970/71, when we beat Sunderland 4-3. Played an absolutely stormer iirc.
