Dolman Block B Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Will he come back to haunt us?Loved the guy when he was here, and confident he will give 100% sat.Hopefully a decent reception from our lot, then Fontaine/Carey will take good care of him.

CiderHider Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Is the graffiti still on the Portway saying "AKINBIYI STAY" **** Classic!Nah, he'll be doing us no favors, but our defence should be able to cope with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player that tries to get the acclaim of the crowd for scoring the consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat is not a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledinwatford Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I thought he was a good 'un. Mind you he needed three chances to score one but he made his fair share. I'll be giving him a cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel_Bill Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Didnt know that CH.Where abouts it to?There is grafitti on the breeze block wall behind the East End in the car park (Williams Side) that says "Akinbiyi Please Stay".

Rocky Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Didnt know that CH.Where abouts it to?It's faded away now, much like Akinbuyme. Was on that slope as you drive under the suspension bridge on the other side of the river..lots of graffiti always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ade Akinbuyi = LEDGENDBrilliant player, i will certainly be clapping him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbcfc Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Best Akinbiyi memory away to Leicester in the FA cup the january/february after they signed him with all four stands at filbert street signing 'what a waste of money' - still think if he'ld of scored a quarter of the chances he missed we'ld of stayed up that year - respectful applause deserved but he was nowt special imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidersam Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Wasn't he top goalscorer that season? with about 21 goals?His scoring record considering we finished rock bottom was impressive in my opinion. He certainly was one quality player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I think he got 21 goals for us that season but had he of learnt how to shoot he would have had 121. Nicknamed 'Akin-bad-buyi' by my Leicester friends- he will get a good reception from me anyway because he was probably our best player that season :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Former players always seem to score against us. So I wouldn't be surprised if Ade does on sat.I will certainly clap him before the game as he was a quality player for us in what was a poor season.But come kick off I shall be willing him to have the worse game of his career.

bartolona Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I will give him a clap before the game and a louder clap when he is substituted after being marked out of the game by Louis and Fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastcityfan Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 He lied to me!!I won the "Player of the Month" competition in the Evening post and was invited to a luncheon at the Swallow Hotel on Park Street. He was there for City, Cureton for the Sags (Spit).I asked him over smoked salmon would he be staying, he said he was taking his kid to Florida for a hoilday and would be there next season.....then the bugger left!

Bristolian76 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I always thought his nickname was Panicbuyi?Same here.He always gave 100% for us and ill be giving him the good reception he deserves on saturday.Always remember those t shirts they had under their city shirts vs Crewe (5-2 if i remember correcty) and when he scored he took his shirt off, had some message about sticking with us.

CiderHider Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Didnt know that CH.Where abouts it to?AyeIf you're heading towards AG from Avonmouth along the Portway, before you go under the Suspension Bridge there is a massive rock slope on the lefthand side where the water treatment works are and where the rock climbers chill out (its fenced off now) it was in big bold letters, you could'nt miss it when it was done, but think its now been removed of written over/faded away.Very symbolic at the time when he was considering his move, it did'nt make much difference in the end though as he buggered off!

BristolCity1992 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I will give him a clap deffo he was outstanding for us although I was only about 10 when he was with us in 1998?

But do I think he is/was a great/talented footballer (or legend as you put it)....no I bloody don't!He is a very average player who did well one season for us.Probably why you haven't answered my question....what has he done since?

He certainly was one quality player for usNot being funny mate, 21 is impressive on paper, but that year he should've scored 41.He missed chance after chance. An unintelligent player, with a poor first touch, and a poor shot to be fair, who relied heavily on pace and power.I look back on that season and 21 was a poor return considering the chances he had.
