Bob Wesson

i’ve always thought (or assumed) that Bob Wesson was in goal for my first game, which was on the 6 April 1963, at home to Halifax Town. The score was 5-4 to City, with a George Hudson hat-trick, the other goals scored by Dietmar Bruck and Jimmy Whitehouse. BUT - the 11v11 record shows that our goalkeeper that day was a Dave Meeson, whose name, in the mists of time, has completely escaped me! Blimey, all this time I’d thought it was Bob Wesson! Another interesting fact from this game is the attendance, at 19,632, was pretty good, I would have thought, for a division 3 game.

Oggy - remember him having a frank exchange of views that day with Ian Wright - a number of years before Wright's knee connected with Oggy's face against Arsenal

I was there for the 2nd one. I still have vision of Dion’s telescopic leg clearing one off the line.

 

[Citysince47]

I'm ancient. Alf Wood was in goal for my very first match

 

[ccfcchris]

Bill Glazier.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Les Sealey, Arsenal at Highfield Road 1978

 

[The Great Eastern]

Early season 1996/7 against Bury. 3-0 to City with Bobby Gould and John Tudor getting our goals. Assuming it was Bill Glazier but might have been Bob Wesson.

 

[Benno’s Dancin’ Feet]

Bob Wesson. Terry Bly scored three and Willie Humphries missed a penalty at the Kop end

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Scott Shearer

Scott Shearer

He looked very, very good early on. Made one big mistake and confidence went.

 

[Calista]

I saw him in Berlin during WC 1026

You make Voice of Reason and some of the others look like mere youngsters.

IIRC the Holy Roman Empire beat the Duchy of Normandy 1-0 in the final that year.

I take it you mean 1966/7

 

[Cally Fedora]

Jim Blyth. Who coincidentally is also in my top 3 along with Oggy and Hedman

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Stephen Bywater. First keeper I remember properly was Andy Marshall followed by Kieran Westwood. (Westwood my favourite keeper for the record too)

 

[SAJ]

Bill Glazier

Same v West Ham 1969 finished 2-2

 

[oscillatewildly]

Neil Ramsbottom, 0-2 v Middlesborough 1974/75.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Mine was Bill Glazier, Reg Matthews was a good goalkeeper and went on to play for England,

Peter Taylor, never saw him play, was he any good?

Just average, nothing special. I think we sold him to Middlesbrough

 

[sotvtoday]

Bob Wesson 1964 v Brentford 2-2. Funny how the mind plays tricks. I would have bet money on George Hudson scoring but turns out it was Ken Hale plus an og.

 

[wingy]

Stephen Bywater. First keeper I remember properly was Andy Marshall followed by Kieran Westwood. (Westwood my favourite keeper for the record too)

Followed by Martin Fulop god rest his soul,or somewhere between?

 

[mmttww]

Oggy - remember him having a frank exchange of views that day with Ian Wright - a number of years before Wright's knee connected with Oggy's face against Arsenal

Is that the game when he mooned the West Terrace after 10 mins of "Ian.. SHITE, SHITE, SHITE"...?

 

[Otis]

How does that work then?

Quite easy really. You just need a wall, some guns, blindfolds and a bit of rope.

And Bob's your uncle.

This thread has almost made me feel like I've been catfished for years. Thinking I've been chatting to people of similar age only to find out I've been chatting with a crowd of pensioners.

... So much so I almost feel like I need to explain the word catfish to said pensioners.
