Its funny I always remember that date as my first son was due to be born and I was worried that the wife might drop him on the day snd I would get called out of the game.The fightback from Relegation to the 3rd tier began Vs Blackpool, even Bradbury scored , was all looking like a cakewalk till we got battered at Fulham 6 days later and Tshadadze got stretchered off never to return
It's good to look back at these days now as we are arguably the best team in the world but fuck me it was hard work living through it. My son has it so easy knowing City only as we are now.
Wasn’t there another kid lauded at the same time who came to nothing? A centre back from memory.Gary Mason. What ever happened to him? I’m stoned and I could Google it, but I want someone to tell me, thanks.
Nick Fenton was supposed to be another youth team gem of a defender young cultured centre back in the style of a Kieth Curle, yeah remember the hype train was derailed early doorsWasn’t there another kid lauded at the same time who came to nothing? A centre back from memory.
Went back to Scotland and made a few hundred league appearances, mainly for Dunfermline.Gary Mason. What ever happened to him? I’m stoned and I could Google it, but I want someone to tell me, thanks.
Nick Fenton, faded out of the first team along with Mason and we then went on a great run from Boxing Day all the way to Gillingham at Wembley....I went to the Luton away match also but was in their main stand with many other blues.
Do not remember the booing but yes it was a tough time. Pretty sure one of the Fenton brothers?? gave a cheap equaliser to Burnley at home that year with a sloppy backpass. We were asking kids to step up to replace senior pros who were wilting under the pressure.
