My mate around the same age after we scored a goal went to hug me, but stopped and shook my hand. It would have made a cracking comedy sketch !

When the City score a goal we shake hands,none of that hugging stuff. Now that is repressed !

What was Venison doing in there ? He never played for Cov ?

George Best it was said was that hungover he left at half time ran over to a nearby pub and knocked back a drink to settle him down. He came back and played a blinder.

Snape ran the Old Crown pub on Windmill Road. Heard he was a character so it was probably true.

My dad told me that Ian Gibson had a reputation for liking a drink. And it was well known that Bill Glazier often sank ten pints on a Friday night before the next days match. If it was true it never affected him. Bryan Robson it was said drank like a fish at WBA and Man Utd too, but never showed...

I saw George Curtis in his chippy on Walsgrave Road, the Chip Butty one Friday night. A few of us had been in the Walsgrave pub so were a bit pissed. He was fine though and had a bit of banter with us. His nickname was Iron Man so I heard he took no crap in there !

Writing earlier on Dean Emerson and how I saw him in the Rose pub drinking on a few occasions, made me realise I've seen a few more City players drinking in watering holes. Bill Glazier in the casino before a legends day, Dave Bennett in the Rose and Crown pub down the Forum with David Speedie...

He was okay. Got stuck in at midfield,Emerson that is.

I was stuck on Z so went for Zuniga, I was desperate !

Dean Emerson for E was my pick. Not much to pick from there but he wasn't too bad. He used to drink in The Rose pub on Lockhurst Lane !

My thread was supposed to be a best A-Z of Cov players. Seems easier to pick a worst ever ?

How about " Driver take me to Cowdenbeath. "

Is the cow saying " Right driver take me to Uddersfield. "

Someone will probably say my list is bad !

Good effort !

We've had the A-Z of Rock Bands. So here's my A-Z of Cov City players that I've seen play for us. I missed out U and X as don't think we've had any players with that surname ? Its not easy ! A - Armstrong B- Barry C- Curtis D- Dublin E- Emerson F- Ferguson G- Glazier H- Hudson I - Impey J- John...

What's on the B side : And peas ?

Just put on the best of Bonnie Raitt. What a talent. Love her rock/country voice and guitar riffs.

Still unbeaten I see. What's the atmosphere like at the Butts ? Is it clicky though as the regulars may say " he's a new one, or another bloody football fan. " Then again when I went now and again to Coundon Road nobody bothered you.
