fka dagest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Steve Jones for me. A big expensive flop. What was it £500000? Caesar was only a Free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Without a doubt Brian Mitchellbl88dy thanks jiggers - now there is no way I am going to be able to sleep well tonight after you have just reminded of certainly the biggest disaster to ever wear a city shirt since I have been regularly watching (from 1989)..He was truly, utterly awlful... a Denis smith signing with instructions (by a number of good sources) to bomb forward from his L/b position and support the very good strikers we had at the time (a young Andrew Cole and Jackie as I recall). He was so slow once he was up the pitch it took about 5 minutes for him to return to his position just in time to pick the ball out the back of our net (time, after time after time)...

Guest MaloneFM Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Torpey. Big old mad sweary Steve. The man who would have 'crawled across the Severn bridge over broken glass to play for city.' Scored on his debut and got a whack on the head. In all the following games where he was poor, and there were many, Mr Redrive tried his damnest to convince your uncle it was because he was still suffering from the clout.Christian 'two minutes against Hartlepool' Roberts. Off the pitch a very nice bloke. Cross the white line and there was someone who never spoke to Peacock let alone gave him the ball, couldn't stay on his feet and refused to celebrate if he scored against Cardiff (which he did, and he didn't) because it may cause trouble for his family.They are the Soul Crew Roberts not Hezbollah.

Wasn't it this song that prompted a middle finger to the fans that day?Think you might be right - believe this was the pre-season friendly v Chelsea........Coupled with "are you watching Ian Baird" when we equalised.Poor poor player - however, I give you...........Tony Dinning/ Sean Dyche/ Gus Caeser/ Steve Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Couple more strikers for you (in the loosest sense of the word), Scott Mc Garvey and Liam Robinson. Couldn't fault Liam for effort but had a woeful scoring record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started watching in 87 and certain he was around then. He was truly awful. Caesar, Dinning, Hutchings, Mortimer (great player on his day, but was always injured), Loss, McKop the list really is endless! God I seen some dross in my time, can't believe it's been 21 years. But look at us now - within touching distance of the Premiership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MaloneFM Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 At a function once Mr Redrive shouted 'watch your back' as the hapless ginger mountain that is Dyche walked past with a drink. When the obligaory filthy glance was shot at him he explained that he didn't want him to spill his small sherry on anyone.Large mental ginger cave bear v doddery old sod with a big mouth. Fair fight I'd say.I will not hear a bad word against Liam Robinson though. He was a trier. As was Colin Cramb. Darren Caskey on the other hand was just fat.

Clemens Zwenberg or whatever his name was.bas savage is up there - although part of a fairly sucessful team.I wasn't TT biggest fan but he did score a lot of goals for us. Him and Peacock was a good partnership but the rest of the side wasn't so good.Anyone that Tony Pulis brought is a legend for all the wrong reasons. Apart from Mercer who was good but injury ruined his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 David Howell wasn't too bad from memory.Carl Hutchings and Steve Jones were the worst I can remember. I sort of recollect Ian Baird being awful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolCity4Life84 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Lee Miller is another one Was expected to be a big hit for us, but sadly not to be. For £300,000 you would`ve thought he`d have got alot of goals..8 in 56 games is not what we paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
