Great goals by Horlock and Dickov (correct spelling this time!!!) and Nicky Weaver -Still makes the hair on the back of my next stand up - especially when you listen to the radio commentary with Andy Buckley and David White - "City are back on course, they were blown off it, it was only a temporary hitch though" LOL

Discuss......
He had little influence on our decline despite being an Alan Ball signing. Id cite the loss of Coton, Walsh, Flitcroft and the signings of Immel, Frontzeck, Creaney as much bigger factors in the drop out of the Premiership.
Then if we are to name the people who saw over our further decline? I shudder. Horrible, horible days.
Agree with this, we still had the Goat, but losing Beagrie and Walsh around that time would have hurt any team in our position

Maybe he could have a role in the coaching set up at City? Maybe he's got managerial ambitions of his ownstimo said:genuine bloke. remember meeting him in mary d's and shit loads of people were asking for autographs and pictures and he took every single one, great bloke, good sense of humour and clearly he has a place in his heart for city.
If Dickov was half the player he is made out to be we would never have been in that Division never mind have to be in the playoffs "Legend" he certainly wasnt called that when he scored against us & celebrated like a man possesd .think some have convienient memoriesknuckles said:Great bloke, great goal :) To put it simply, that goal started us down the road to where we are now, without Dickoff we might still be in the lower leagues.

Am not sure who on this thread is ungrateful maybee you can point out who is .You are correct Dickovs goal did help save us .missing the penalty nearly sunk us though .Lets not forget he was bought to score goals ,if he scored more maybee we would never have been in the play offs in the first placeakamojo said:cyberblue said:If Dickov was half the player he is made out to be we would never have been in that Division never mind have to be in the playoffs "Legend" he certainly wasnt called that when he scored against us & celebrated like a man possesd .think some have convienient memoriesknuckles said:Great bloke, great goal :) To put it simply, that goal started us down the road to where we are now, without Dickoff we might still be in the lower leagues.
no matter how many goals he scored against us, he still saved us from eternal damnation, how ungrateful some ppl can be
