port marine red Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Cetainly NOT a city legend!Played his part in a promotion winning side,captained the team, represented his country whilst playing for us, and lifted a trophy at the Millenium stadium.

Rob k Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Tinnion was a legend as a player regardless of what he did as manager.Tinnion was not a legend in my eyes, i suppose you forgot when Tinnion stuck 2 fingers up at the crowd?? Also people only think he was a legend because he played over 500 games, How many goals did he score, he had 2 or 3 above average seasons in 12 or so in my opinion.

People say "ahhh, but he was so committed! always gave 100%!" b***ocks!!!! being committed and giving 100% means working hard 7 days per week, looking after yourself, and not (for example) smoking and drinking. Tommy would through himself into a tackle when the fella was within lunging range - but compare that with the kind of fitness Marvin Elliot has, and the dedication that must sit behind such fitness - and the contrast is huge. but at least there's cause for debate with Tommy. With Tinnion there isnt. He's a Bristol City Legend, and anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greame Souness won't forget the name And there lies the problem - one goal against Liverpool, How can somebody who played the majority of there career in Div 3 be a legend?

Try unprofessional billy big b***ocks who pissed his talent away by drinking and smoking.Not for me thanks give me any of Bristol City midfielder today over him.

Redhyde Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Tommy Who?Tommy was eclipsed during his time here by Tinnion. And our recent success has eclipsed his memory.Do we miss a Tommy Doherty from our team? No. Would he fit in under our current successful regime? No.A legend for me is someone you look at and go you helped our club massively in the time you were here. Did Tommy? Nope. It's also someone you'd welcome back at the height of their powers for you. Tommy as was, would be sitting on the bench right now if he was even in the squad.Tommy hasn't contributed massively to our history, and he's not someone to aspire to be.I don't understand the Tommy hero worship. The Tommy hero worship in Tommy's mind probably stopped him fulfilling his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 "Played the majority of his career in the third division"So that would rule John Atyeo out, too, would it?No not really. John Ateyo was England class. Brian Tinnion was most certainly not. And Bob Taylor (as mentioned by the other poster) was Premiership class. Brian Tinnion was most certainly not (yes he could do amazing things with his left foot when given time at third and maybe second division level at a push but that is has far as his ability went).Tinnion was a very talented LOWER LEAGUE player but not a legend in my opinion. I don't want anyone to lose their rag over it, though, as it's only an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enttitled to my opinion and that opinion is that Brian Tinnion is NOT a city legend.In the context of where City were for the majority of the past 15 years he is a legend. If he isn't a legend of recent times how the hell to get to be one at this club? Do you have to travel back in time and play for us in the late 70's?I would also say that playing 500 games in this day and age is legendary status alone. Most players barely last 50 games these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want anyone to lose their rag over it, though, as it's only an opinion.he played over 500 games for the club - not many will beat that. he was also a fantastic, graceful footballer - no, he wasnt international class or prem class, but he was season in, season out in amongst the best players at the club, and he brought great pleasure to anyone with half a brain who watched him. we are not a big club, and we don't have much of a history. In the context of the last two and a half mostly dark decades of football, and i guess in the context of 100 years of mostly lower division football - Brian Tinnion is a legend, and will be still talked about in 40 years time.

Legend No -In the last 20 years the only player that ive seen in the whole of football who will probs go down as a legend will be Ryan Giggs for Man United or Tony Adams for Arsenal. You have to win things to get legendry status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
