Anyone on here know if he is still involved in football or what he is doing these days ?

I dont know but the only City Captain who had a column in the programme filled with DIY tips - that was what he was doing when he was dropped but still had a column!
I remember that, quality reading!
 
In the 70s and early 80s there was a regular feature about "The other side" of players and what hobbies they had. There were gardening, DIY, painting, all kinds of worthwhile things. Nowadays its just games consoles and golf. (And darts obviously). There's a few exceptions. Armed robbery and burglary for example.
 
Remember going west brom away and he went up for a high ball and missed it..blamed the floodlights for dazzling his vision..error led to a goal and we lost 1nil. still not forgiven the man.don,t think he was that bad as a centre-half,but always looked like a disaster waiting to happen..bit like kenny clements as captain.

Once a blue always a blue, scoring an own goal to give leeds the title.
forgot all about that-bramhall lane..where rags title dreams died. such a happy day.
 
There was a weird little guy who stood behind us on the Kippax. Every time someone passed to Gayle, without fail, he would start screaming at the top of his voice:
"Bloody Norah, don't give it to Basil Fawlty. DON'T GIVE IT TO FAWLTY!!!!"

Didn't Brian Gayle have his own column on one of the fanzines called the The Captain is a Log ?
