'Your gonna get your fucking head kicked in' - There was a great article written in the West Ender fanzine commenting on a League Cup game at Grimsby when the local nutters were out in force looking to take us on, and the article started with the line, 'We knew we were in trouble when the family...

He was awful for us. The Sunderland netflix summary summed him up pretty well. Talks a good game, but its all bluster. Its a travesty that with the players he had playing for him that 17th was as high as we finished.

Love it. I was 7 and this was my first season going to games. Wasn't at this one, but this was Stein & Hutchison's debut games for us. Selling Blockley and Quinton Young to bring those 2 in was one of our better pieces of business. What a player Willie Carr was too.

I was a ballboy at that match, although never touched the ball the whole 90 minutes. Still got the program somewhere signed by all the players.

From the 70's - Brian Alderson and John Craven both died relatively young.

A couple of mine already mentioned - 4-1 at Villa, 2-0 at Wimbledon (we took nearer 10,000 - had the whole stand on the side of the pitch, completely taking over the half allocated for their supporters), 2-1 Spurs to stay up. Other's not mentioned are 3-1 at Spurs the season before the 2-1 game...

Yes - great player

Andreas Lund - Wikipedia Looks like he would have been listed here if we had signed him!!

Players whose careers at City prematurely ended because of injury. To start I give you Lee Hurst, Graham Oakey and Liam Daish.

I thought Daish was a pretty good defender, certainly better than Shaw and Williams.

Yes he was disappointing, but I thought at the time we were premature to get rid of him so quickly. He was a young lad, getting used to being away from Scotland and who was going to get better with experience. His subsequent career in Scotland was a very good one too. We also made a profit on...

I didn't think Jones was that bad a player on the rare occasions he played, but unfortunately he was injury prone, and yes we certainly didn't get our money's worth from him. Around this same time we had tried to sign Kevin Beattie who was a great player but also injury prone, so we pulled out...

I think you're on the wind up on this. The Labour run council in Coventry is not 'Socialist'. They are mostly from the Blairite side of the party, and are kind of 'Tory Lite'. That's why Dave Nellist was elected against them as a 'Socialist' Councillor for a number of years. Would have been...

Players I remember our crowd getting onto include 'The Guvnor' Paul Ince, Kenny Miller and Alan Shearer. Some of the worse grief though was to ex players with Dublin, Boateng & Sealey particularly getting it in the neck.

From old film I've seen of Rees, he looked very left footed - of that era was Ian Gibson decent with both feet? Tommy Hutch & Ndlovu are the only players I can think of that I've seen who were equally comfortable with either foot. Liam Walsh is a pretty good shout amongst our modern players...

Bowman joined about the same time as Jim McInally who also turned out to be a disappointing signing. They both left for Dundee United where they had long & successful careers coinciding with the club's best period in their history, including success in Europe.

Sorry to be pedantic but only think he had a beard at Villa. Sure he always a clean shaved youth when playing for us :)

No one mentioned Micky Quinn yet? Larry Lloyd was on the hefty side too.

He's right though. Hutch moved to the right after we signed Steve Hunt. Pretty sure when I first went watch City Dennis Mortimer wore the number 7 shirt. John Beck and Les Cartwright were other number 7's in those days of 1-11 shirts.
