Gary Owen.

Had a quick word with him at the hotel bar on Brighton sea front after the decider...… He was VERY happy.....(and was there before and after the game so he'd probably had a fair few !!)

I’m younger, funnier and better looking than him.

And more modest, apparently.

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

Two of the worst decisions Malcolm ever made.

The biggest mistake Mal made was coming back in the first place

Who are?

Your looking at a long list there lol

Correct. Remember beating coventry 2-0 at home maybe 78 and he scored both goals, penalties in the second half in the North Stand.

Nice one. Just looked that game up Ray Gobles (RIP)book......1978/79 Oct 14th 1978 2nil win. Owen managed 11 goals from midfield that season ,a good return for a centre mid...Always liked his style of play.a grafter. Give and go...a bit imo like Neil Mcnab for us in the late 80s...played a simple game.ball on the deck,pass and move.....Mcnab was then of course at the end of his career...having started as a Winger aged 15 at Morton.Scotland.

He was doing a show on XS radio with Mickey Thomas as the red half. Sounded like they were mates on it. Feck of a sight better than the one on Radio Manc now.

Top player but I was always Barnes in the schoolyard.

The guy is an all round top blue and stands his corner against any rag scouser or any outher fucker who has a go at city

Still does a great Rod Stuart on karaoke

 

[WestGorton]

I have never been as sad as when he was sold. Malcolm cost us 30 years.

After Alison sold him I stopped going for a few good games.
When he scored twice against us for WBA I neatly got filled in for singing there's only one Garry Owen by city fans : )

He did get plenty of goals in 1978-79, although he was our penalty-taker that year so not all his goals came from open play. I agree though he was a fine player and I believe he shed tears when Allison got rid of him.
