Curle was stripped of the captaincy and it was given to Symonds. A disgraceful decision which alienated our captain and best player.Curle wasn't dropped for Symons, they were the main centre half partnership. Vonk and Kernaghan were the left out for the most part.
Nonetheless, Ball was abysmal.

It was, but it didn't happen until the 96/97 pre-season. Curle was captain all the way through 95/96.Curle was stripped of the captaincy and it was given to Symonds. A disgraceful decision which alienated our captain and best player.

He managed to get a whole ground of Stoke and City fans to shout Ball out together as one.
He was deluded and if he thought City fans were kind to him it sums up how bad it was elsewhere.
He even convinced the players we were safe v Liverpool when we weren't.
He thought Martin Phillips was the next George Best.
He left a trace of covid in Preston years ago that then infected a bat which then flew to China.
If you knew the full Buster Phillips fiasco - it would make you blood boil - it was Ball covering his tracks and using City's money to do it. Ball legged Franny over on that deal and i suspect Franny eventually found out.
Heard so many stories about Ball Back back in the day.
Going in to the dressing room with his World Cup Medal, telling the players they were all useless fuckers,and would never get Medals like this.
That last season Ball was in charge, was the season Stoke City moved to their new Victoria ground that season.I will never forget it
Me and my mates had never been there before.
So there we are a couple of hundred City fans not knowing where the fuck to go,
A steward directed us across a Bridge,where there was a shit load of clinically obese Bikers in Stoke shirts waiting for us.One or two of them were actually swinging Bike Chains,not a copper to be seen.
Happy days.

That game at Stoke was at their OLD Victoria Ground. Our first game at the new ground was the 5-2 defeat which relegated both teams the following season.Heard so many stories about Ball Back back in the day.

Both sets of fans singing "Ball out" was a bit strange.

Must really rankle with TC when you consider the likes of Ian Walker were capped.Was it Coton who had he played another few games then we would have to pay Watford more money from a clause in his transfer?
There was one player around that era that we moved on rather than pay tlhe additional fee?
Edit
Remembered now..... We had to give more money to Watford if TC played for England. Swales was the chairman of the international committee at the FA and the best keeper in the country never got an England cap.....
