I went to the Everton game at Goodison expecting a beating, 4-1 and well worth it, away day to Burnley, took thousands and took over Blackpool too. David Cross made his name for Rochdale in 71 knocking us out of the cup and had a great career especially at West Ham.
Any more clues? Gerry Francis used to be known for his antiques but can't think of a stoke connection. Only other England captain's I know that were for us were managers or don't fit (pearce mills butcher neal)Captained England, stoke coach, antiques dealer
Yes Gerry Francis, he was a coach at Stoke under Tony Pulis and midfielder for usAny more clues? Gerry Francis used to be known for his antiques but can't think of a stoke connection. Only other England captain's I know that were for us were managers or don't fit (pearce mills butcher neal)

David Smith?Average early 90's winger. Only top flight football was with Cov playing just 21 games he scored his only goal for us against Derby.
Biggest clue - shares his name with a Nuneaton street.

Leigh Jenkinson? (don't know Nuneaton at all so no clue to me that one - other than Bobby Sands phone number)Average early 90's winger. Only top flight football was with Cov playing just 21 games he scored his only goal for us against Derby.
Biggest clue - shares his name with a Nuneaton street.

I'm guessing there isn't a Keith O'Neill Street either then
noOk I've gone at this a different way - Courtney Close sounds like he could have been a baller
Correct. the street in Stockingford,Nuneaton is called 'The Raywoods'Ray Woods
Signed by Gary McAllister. Played 8 times. Dreadful.View attachment 10918
It is, very well done!Its not that Engonga fella is it?
Roger Van Gool?International who played for us
Was the 1st 1million Deutsch Mark Transfer in Germany

Fadiga?Senegal international, short term contract but got injured anyway.
Fadiga?
The terrible Sandy Robertson?Ok another one for you:
Scottish midfielder once labelled the "best young player in Britain". Only played a handful of games but was quite notorious. Signed by Phil Neal.
as this was unanswered - the answer wasIan Wallace
my question - what was the Rabbit;s name and why?
I'm not letting you have that one.Correct. the street in Stockingford,Nuneaton is called 'The Raywoods'
YepThe terrible Sandy Robertson?
Dougie McGuire! (he also lived with my nan lol!)A Scottish winger signed by John Sillett and played only 4 times. I think his debut was as a substitute and when he made his first start at HR he was substituted either at half time or in the first half
Correct. Did he as my memory thinks get subbed off in the first half or half time of his full debut? I also think we never saw him again after thatDougie McGuire! (he also lived with my nan lol!)
Honestly can't remember. All I know it was the year of the Speedie/Gary Bennett thing as he got us tickets for Sunderland away when he was expecting to play. Long way for a 0-0 in midweek and he wasn't playingCorrect. Did he as my memory thinks get subbed off in the first half or half time of his full debut? I also think we never saw him again after that
