Come on Simmo.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Hope he beats it like we beat the Owls with his free kick on boxing day 1986. Always thought he should have been playing for England instead of John Barnes.

Was that the one in pouring rain from about 30 yards, where SheffWeds spent the whole game crossing the ball at their giants and having Clements and McCarthy head it out?

 

[bluealf]

The wife has just told me, being from Carlisle the same as Paul it was always great to have him playing for City and he was great as Carlisle's manager for a spell.

Hope he beats it asap.

All the best Simmo. One of my and I'm sure many others favourite player from that era. By all accounts reading some of the replies on here a top bloke as well

 

[Shaggy]

All the best Simmo, you can beat it.

Remember that winner at Fratton Park, absolute limbs

 

[Legal Alien]

Great day that, Simmo lobbing the keeper, City end went wild, get well soon Simmo.

Yeah a great, important goal and a vital win.

Good luck Simmo you can beat that horrible disease

 

[TooBlue]

Good luck Simmo, and stay positive. I can sympathise more than most. I was diagnosed with exactly the same thing last week.

Paul came on as a sub. the first time I saw City live.

Best of luck, Simmo. I hope you beat this horrible disease

Was he 16 ?

No. He was when he made his debut in 83

All the best Paul. Great memories of Pompey away Charlton and Huddersfield.
He was also manager of England U17's with Phil Foden who won the world cup

Hoping for a speedy and successful recovery.

Yeah he made his debut at 16 then seemed to disappear for 2 seasons

[Stelea]

Remember his debut as a 16 year old, think he set up the winner

Cov at home I think?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Here is an interview with Cheesey - there is a more recent and longer one I will try and find
EDIT
It was @City_Shirts who did the longer interview which he has posted below. No wonder I couldn't find it lol

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Good luck Simmo, and stay positive. I can sympathise more than most. I was diagnosed with exactly the same thing last week.

All the best Blue, my brother has had a similar thing & has responded well to treatment, hope everythings ok.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Sounds like its been diagnosed which is half the battle. All the best, top blue. Hope the powers that be here can share these messages with him somehow, Im sure there is a way

Awful awful news….Sending love and best wishes to Paul.

Cracking fella is Paul who spoke so highly of his time at City when I caught up with him earlier this year for a City Q&A.

One of my all time City favourites through that decade.
All the best Paul.
