Steve Bruce once got 19 in a season for United, no idea if he took pens though.

19 !!!!! That's nuts, can't remember him being a penalty taker, that would of been Denis Irein at the time

Yep, he was a pen taker….i based by pens on his style.  Place the ball, decide where I’m putting it, walk back facing away from the keeper, turn, run, shoot, no stopping first.

It’s my opinion Nogbad………..:cool2:

I never rated Flint. To me he was/is a 1970s ‘head it and kick it’ merchant. He is/was never a proper footballing CB and there are plenty in todays game and why he’s slipped down the leagues.

That said fair play to AF who has become wealthy by utilising his attributes to the maximum. Not sure how many times he moved clubs since City but each move would have earned a few grand signing on fee.

I met Aden a number of times. Nice guy and happy to chat about football.

You didn't meet the same Aden Flint as me then!

One of the most obnoxious, miserable, ignorant blokes I ever met

Sorry to see that. I met him firstly thru the SC as was and we sponsored a players shirt at an event. Spent only a few mins chatting with him. The second occasion was another similar event. I asked him what he’d have become had he not become a professional footballer. 
He shrugged and said ‘probably laying tarmac’ I also asked him who his toughest opponent was ‘Chris Martin’ was his immediate response,

Sadly CM was past his best by the time  he signed for City.

Also met David Noble, a very modest guy and Jamie McCoombe who found the Bristolian accent ‘ weird’. Both of them were very likeable blokes.

Lee Trundle on the other hand was very up his own ass and posing as if he was the main man.
