Larry Lloyd against NorwichDidnt he score a goal from his own half once or was that Larry Lloyd?
Have to agree with all of that.Yes it was Lloyd
Anyway Holton was a big charismatic figure who was part of arguably the most successful CCFC team of all time.
He was a big commanding centre half who I assume was partnered by the skillful Garry Gillespie. They made for a strong partnership and as I say was part of simething of a revolution at the club as the team. We were a free flowing attacking team that gave the defence little cover from midfield.
Now we argue about the relative merits of someone called Turnbull and someone else called Rawson. How times change
Mick Coop another Hero.I used to play for City Supporters on a Sunday. When Jim finished playing professionally he played for a local Sunday team, can't remember who. I do remember playing for the Suppoerters Club against Jim and his team on Cardinal Wiseman School playing field. I played at full back and I remember overlapping down the wing and being absolutely wiped out by Jim who completely Scythed my legs from under me. No Malice though as he had a big toothless grin on his face as he picked me up.
He played centre half in my favourite ever City team, a team that played non stop attacking football and which relied on Holton a great deal as he and Mick Coop (playing at centre half) were along with Jim Blythe in goal, virtually the only defenders, the full backs constantly bombing forward too.
