Junior was a legend(used loosely)! Useless when it came to getting in the box and shooting most of the time he cleared the eastend not just the cross bar. However prior to his move to Blackpool he did leave us a present, a winning goal against the Gas in the Coca Cola cup

You're right about not scoring, but he was fast. Here's four memories:-

1994 a rearranged FA Cup tie the scorers were Rush and Allison, but City outplayed Liverpool and squandered many fine chances. Junior Bent alone should have had a hat trick that night. The replay at Anfield again saw City outplay Liverpool who were now unbeaten for 11 games. Again Junior Bent could not score, but Allison controlled one of his crosses and laid the ball off to Tinnion whose favoured left foot hit the ball into the Liverpool net for the only goal of the game.

Easter 1995; West Brom visited and everyone expected Bob Taylor or Paul Mardon to score the goal that relegated City. Happily the only goal came from Junior Bent and City were still up.

1997; The first round of the Coca-Cola Cup paired the two Bristol clubs with the first leg goal less at Ashton Gate. During the second leg, Rovers star Barry Hayles gave them the lead, but City fought back and it went into extra time. Junior Bent ran through the Rovers defence and smashed a goal to win the tie. Blackpool bought him the following day.

and later that season; The draw at Blackpool was particularly galling. Blackpool took the lead ten minutes into the second half, Matt Hewlett then scored twice to put City 2-1 up. Two minutes from time Junior Bent scored his first goal since the September transfer.
