Don't if any remmbers him

Very vivid memories of him playing for us back in 79 not long after I started watching the blues.

Anyway don't know if this was a coincidense but he was on 5 live this morning telling Nicky Campbell about him trying to bring a player back into the country from Spain for a about £5mil. Deal fell through even though a fee was agreed between club even though he would have more than doubled his wages. The player didn't fancy it over here.

Wouldn't name the club or player. But then he did go on to harp on about when he was at City and we farmed him out to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Not sure if it was a coincidense him talking about us or whether he was trying to tie up a deal for someone Gago perhaps???

Can't stand the fat little spiv. He's like a chubby version of Del Boy but without the charm and with a worse dress sense.

 

[Longsight-memories]

He was not a very good player could it not be diarra ? (think he is going to Milan?)

 

[lancs blue]

Scored a cracking goal at Ipswich and... well that's about it for his spell at City!

 

[JULES]

not much of a footballer either

 

[JohnMaddocksAxe]

Got involved in some strange affairs at Portsmouth under Mandaric, Redknapp and the rest.

Can't say that I hold him in particularly high esteem after listening to him bleating on about it a few years back.

 

[squirtyflower]

Absolute dog shit as a player
Never forget giving him abuse at WBA only to be told off by his parents sat behind

Just as shit when they get him on sky sports as a shit wide-boy schtick on transfers

 

[We're not really here]

I remember him never wearing shinpads and rolling his socks right down to his ankles if that is any use?

 

[denislawsbackheel]

we farmed him out to tel aviv and he ran away when he realized being Jewish made him eligible for conscription!
He is a twat of a man now as an agent.

i remember big mal signed him from plymouth - where mal had coached him previously and said something like "this boy will set the first division alight " ? siklman was on tv (kick off - granada) the night b4 his debut and to hear him talk we were expecting the white euseibo ! he was more like the jewish gerry creaney ?
