Always been nice enough to me when I've met him as a kid he signed everything I put in front of him mainly at ryton

That's intriguing...what did you put in front of him? And more to the point what did you put in front of him that he refused to sign?

He's 60 in September. One wonders how long he will carry on coaching beyond that. He must have made a lot of money over the years.

Remember the meet and greet City did at the new Broadgate in 95? Oggy was the only regular who didn't turn up, I'm sure.

Sean Flynn, Brian Borrows and Ally Pickering were the most friendly of the bunch, Bugsy especially.

Asked Dion for his autograph and he barked: "where's ya pen?!" at me, amidst a hail of spittle. Nob.

Brian Borrows is a really nice fella who still lives in Coventry. If anyone other than Robins is to lead the team out at Wembley it should be him, given he missed out 30 years ago.

Borrows used to live very close to where I grew up in Stivichall, probably still does. Often saw him walking his Weimaraner in the Memorial Park. Always said hello.

The bloke is a miserable fook every time I have spoke to him. I used to work at Henleys when we were sponsored by Peugeot and he used to have his car serviced etc there. If you said morning how's things he would just sigh as if I had asked him for £50.
See him in the Open arms and Burnt post every now and again but wouldn't give him the steam off my piss. Arrogant miserable fook.
You only take people as you find.

I agree , when Oggy was still playing , had a corporate meal and stadium tour before a game at HIghtfield Road,
As I passed him in the lounge, I said hello , he just ignored me .
You know what they say about first impressions ! arrogant as f**K .
And this is the fans who help pay his wages !
Never liked him from that day .

I seen him once in a petrol station wearing cricket whites. He didn't walk into me or say sorry but did hold the door open for me as I was going in and he was leaving.

Exclusive 2.

Tommy English was an arrogant sod when he was here. Played non-league with him years later and had only slightly improved. Met a lot of our players late 70s and 80s weren't many bad ones.

No 1994...we got hammered 5-1, quite a strange feeling , devastated that we lost, but then smug because oggy was shit that day. Saying that though, he was a legend in 97 at spurs, one of the best games of my life.

On a more general point would be interesting to hear more about which players were nice and not at all nice off the pitch. My old man used to run one of the Coventry primary schools football trophies and would always get a Coventry player to present the trophy for the final. I recall seeing Stewart Robson and Brian Borrows (both of whom were great), Kilcline (who was very weird) and one year Phil Neal turned up himself to present it - nice guy. Can't imagine many Premier League bosses doing that these days. Can't remember which other players came down. My dad had Micky Gynn in to do some coaching at his school and always said what a good bloke he was but I never met him.

Yeah, call me sentimental, but I do like my heroes to be good guys too.

Makes me feel better about liking them as players.

I must have met Oggy on 6 or 7 occasions over the years, as a kid he signed autographs for me, he was captain the day I was a mascot and he was around when my nephew was a mascot and when my niece was and each time he was the same: polite and friendly but in a very sullen way, he just seems like a bit of a dull guy but never rude or in anyway unpleasant. Maybe he's just bored with life.

As for the comment about our keepers, we have had a string of brilliant keepers over the years and he deserves some credit for that. People asking for him to be sacked should be ashamed of themselves. The man won't ever have earned really big money and he's been loyal to the club. He deserves praise and not for people to be calling for him to lose his job and livelihood.

A 7 year old Dions Dong huh? I'm not surprised,it's cheeky and it confirms the rumours that Double D had surgery. And 1994? So your old man had just signed and was already being judgmental about what the stalwarts were packing? Oggy's miserable prick should have told him to go easy on the punts to your dad's head that game...

What exactly is club foots role at the club now? I know its good to keep old boys about the place, but he has carved out a nice retirement gig for himself.

never met Oggy but a friend met him recently and said he wasn't very pleasant. Peter Schmeichel is an arrogant prick too. Must just be goalkeepers
