His full name is Silky Clive Wilson. I can't say just Clive Wilson, Silky has just got to go in front of it.
He was that good.

Well that was a waste of time wasn't it! lol.
I did the same got a reply back from Jimmy Frizzel -part of which said that supporters didnt know everything that went on at a football club!!!!!!

Yeah its Gus! I dont really know him properly, but he has always got his City gear on - in fact, the only times I have spoken to him have been about City!
Nice one, tell him I have fond memories of him, he was a really nice lad. Is he still involved in football, do you know?
The great Dave Ewing used to take us for training as well sometimes.

To be fair some will be too young. I googled him to see where he went after Chelsea and how long he played.

He was actually a few years ahead of his time, being a solid dependable full back who was equally at ease going forward and taking men on, and delivering ood crosses. A bit unusual at the time, but now a prerequisite of any decent full back.
Good point. Hadn't thought about that he was ahead of his time. He just always looked to me like he had lots of time on the ball.

Exactly, Swales made them sell him. He was our most valuble player at the time and we were broke as usual.
Wish we had Clive now, we wouldn't have to sell him.
I rate him up there with the likes of Lakey, Barnes, Owen, SWP etc, etc... as one of the best players we ever produced.
