Gary owen, where is he , never seem to hear or see anything about him. Proper blue.
 
When I was a kid and playing football with my mate I was either pretending to be Gary Owen or Peter Barnes, they were always my favourite players and wonderful to watch.
I was always Peter Barnes in the playground. Despite being 100% right footed, I practiced literally day and night to make myself 2 footed. Culminating in me scoring a left footed free kick winning goal in the Catholic cup final

Played 5 a side recently and passed with both feet to the bemusement of my team mates. Can't believe footballers who earn over £100000 a week theaebdays are so one footed

It was a crime against City and football when Big Mal sold Gary and Peter.

Two of the worst decisions Malcolm ever made.

Yes, well done. In my older playing days, I used to get the piss taken for being one footed. So I practised in secret! Passing not too shabby but only scored once at five a side with my left. So proud I was!!
Edit PS. Just remembered, it was twice!

Peter Barnes or Dennis Tueart for me.
Like Gary Owen tho...was he not born a scouse? St Helens...?

Still play five a side now and as a left footer have managed to get my right foot up to speed at this late age. Scored quite a few with me right foot...but back in the Sunday morning league days ...always Left Foot.every time.
 
Was sat next to him at a bar, on Brighton seafront, about three hours before kick-off, final game of last season. I was already hammered by that point!

What a fucking brilliant day. What a location to celebrate a title, especially with that glorious weather. One of my best days as a City fan. Pure magic.
 
I was a young lad of about 6yrs then and could not believe it they were my hero's.
I also couldn't believe it...couldn't comprehend what was going on.
But I tell you what..I cried when Big Mal got sacked. He probably destroyed our club ..but he was such a big presence ..always talking City Up...to this young teenager..he was a god! The results were incredibly bad...I still shudder when anyone says '"Halifax'" i really do...but there was something about Big Mal.
