1995 (1 Viewer)

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Just having a sort out and found an old program from 1995. Squad list on the back shows luminaries such as Ally Pickering, Willie Boland and very old versions of Gary Gillespie and Peter Shilton. However, squad number 21 was held by Carlita. To be honest, I can't remember the guy and can't even find him on Wikipedia. Anyone able to give me an idea of who he is, and what he was like?

P.S. Squad number 29 (GK) was Colin Huntwick, who I also can't remember!

I remember Carlita, he was a winger. I don't know if he ever played for the first team. Never heard of that keeper mind.

I'm delving into the depths of my memory and I can't recall them either.

Blimey! He's moved around a bit!

Actually now I've seen that I'm sure I remember his name and profile being mentioned a few years ago when Boavista played at the Ricoh. Maybe in the CT.

I recall Ron Atkinson proclaiming Calita was "one for the future" when he signed him...

He played in a few pre season friendlies. Never got near the first team I dont think after that. Always remember him as Carlita not Calita.
Can't recall that gk at all.

His brother was a fortune teller, Horace Scope.

A perfect example of when being able to spell a players name correctly is handy.

Or his Dad Perry who was in the Navy submarine core

 

[Houchens Head]

Definately scope for more jokes here!

 

[henry the wasp]

Retired because they found out he was shit. That was pretty much the end o scope.

I started going up in 1995. John Filan was the keeper as Oggy broke his leg. I used to get autographs off the players and met Carlita. He looked like Mr Bean and simply wrote his name down when asked for an autograph!

I remember him! That was prime, "writing out the potential CCFC squads for the next 3 years in the back of my Geography book" time, I had a scary knowledge of all the players.

Was named Carlos Batista I think originally, then changed his name to be like those cool Brazilians.

My daughter must have been in that same Geography class. She thinks Japan is directly across the water from Yarmouth.

He never played, but yep, he was Carlos Batista when he joined and then was credited as Carlita.

His name is Colin Hunwick not Huntwick. Went on to play for Crawley Town after leaving us and a number of other non league teams.

Most City fans don't bother with that. Hence we have so many references to Tommy Hutchinson !!

I remember Carlita. He was part of the first Richardson/Atkinson splurge. There was a group of around five or six players brought in around that time, with the jewel in the crown being John Salako. Kids drawing up their Ideal XI would have Carlita and Salako on the wings, but the former fast disappeared into the reserves and then into history. One of many baffling signings we saw during those years...

he was purchased by Coventry City on 5 July 1995, after failing a trial at Blackburn Rovers, for a fee reported as ranging from £125,000 to £350,000. And we wonder why we ended up in the shit! I'm sure someone did alright out of that deal though

oh to be able to spend that on a player now!!

 

[torchomatic]

Bryan Richardson would be my guess.

Nice to see that the Telegraph can't spell his name properly either...

But in all seriousness, the programme shows him as 'Carlita', not 'Calita'. Having said that, I did spell the 'keeper's name wrong (that was Harwick rather than Hardwick).
