I used to do a slot every morning during the Adam Mountford Show. More of a 'Community News' thing. Got called to do a bit of reporting every now and then, usually when there was a voting poll into the night.Very impressive Houch. Were you a reporter or a DJ ?
I was good mates with both Rob and Geoff. Both came to my leaving do.Damn it I am trying to work out who Houch is now!
Had to give that a like...I’ve had plenty of conversations with him over the years and always found him to be polite and insightful very much the way he comes across on the radio.
I also remember him as a player was often a grumpy sod. But we loved him all the same, especially his keep warm exercises during a game, he loved a star jump…. Total legend
I'll partly agree with you shmmeee, he was a half decent keeper, not the best keeper in a City shirt though.Met him once when I was 10, he was alright. Signed my programme. Absolute City legend in footballing terms though, surely no disagreement about that.
People also gloss over the fact that his kicking was atrocious!!!I'll partly agree with you shmmeee, he was a half decent keeper, not the best keeper in a City shirt though.

It's a football term to acknowledge someone is pretty good Prof.Half decent? lol
Correct. Watch the 2 Sutton United goals again.I'll partly agree with you shmmeee, he was a half decent keeper, not the best keeper in a City shirt though.
You can't watch back 1 game and mark him down for that! If so, on watching The Big Match Revisited, you'd be marking down Blyth and Glazier for their gaffes. Not sure who else could be regarded as better than him?Correct. Watch the 2 Sutton United goals again.
Certainly the best keeper i have seen play for us.I'll partly agree with you shmmeee, he was a half decent keeper, not the best keeper in a City shirt though.

Amazing save v Leeds in the FA Cup semi.Yes, of course, I suppose it’s a matter of opinion though, however.
I was fortunate enough to see his second half heroics against Tottenham in 96/97, which ultimately kept us up. I haven’t seen a ‘clutch’ display like that from a City player since. The man was a wall in trackie bottoms.
Furthermore, his professionalism throughout his City career was exemplary.
His kicking was atrocious, however, but who’s perfect.
He was also a member of Cov & North Warks club's snooker team.Cov City were playing cricket v Cov & North Warwick mid 80s on Binley Rd, I was about 13, he shouted at me and my 2 mates in the clubhouse like a headmaster for being 2 noisy, hated him after that until about 1987
On the snooker theme-used to follow Jimmy White quite a bit back in the day. Was delighted when there was an exhibition match with him and Alex Higgins, someone who I’d never managed to see but always wanted to, but due to his misdemeanors and health had taken a bit of a back seat. Never met a more horrible person in my life-wouldn’t give people who had come out to see him the time of day and was so rude.He was also a member of Cov & North Warks club's snooker team.
That's the club where his snooker pal told me to 'f*ck off' when i was collecting glasses as a 15yo.

Alex-met Jimmy loads of times who is always approachable.Jimmy or Alex?
It's all getting a bit panto now!
In my taxi days I got job at the Nova-Tel and Jimmy White came to the reception put 50quid in my top pocket & asked me to go to a decent Indian takeaway and get him and John Virgo a chicken madras and keep the change.Alex-met Jimmy loads of times who is always approachable.

He used to regularly get jeered from the Terrace when he pinged another one into touch!
It didn't get much better with Hedman!!! You look at keepers today and they are a world ahead with their feet than keepers back then!!It was legendarily awful.Whenever there was a chance to counter attack, I’d say quietly, “just throw it Oggy…” but nah, he’d hoof it into the directors box.
I remember a game at HR where one of our players was down injured and the kop was shouting to Oggy to kick it out. He aimed for the dugouts and it arched beautifully and landed in the centre circle. Absolutely hilarious.It was legendarily awful.Whenever there was a chance to counter attack, I’d say quietly, “just throw it Oggy…” but nah, he’d hoof it into the directors box.
I can beat that…I sort of met him in a petrol station, he walked into me as he wasn't looking and then apologised.
Got back into his Jag and went.
Cool story bro.
always see him at the burnt post
