Brian Horton

Who?? ;-)

Always liked Horton, was thrown in and tried to play nice football, though we were awful away at times.
Was alway complimentry and still is about us

In my top favourite ex blue managers, not for just his football record, but as a person.
After all he kept us up unlike the little fuckwit we got after him

Though he was in THAT Luton team ;-)

Would never have gone down in 96 if he hadn't been sacked in 95 and replaced by Alan Ball

I always used to like his no nonsense post match interviews.

"So Brian what did you think of the performance today, did you think the opposition's penalty was deserved?"

"We were dire today and I don't think I have seen a more blatant penalty given, I would have worried more if the officials had missed it"

Good lad BH does the supporters club rounds and is well liked

100% agree, he's actually my fav manager before our recent successful ones.

And wasn't the Brian who saying created by the press?

Love how he has become a fan and big advocate of City. Some rare highlights in a fairly dire period for City were the
5-2 against Spurs, bringing in Walsh, Rosler and Beagrie, plus some exciting football.

I remember his commentary during the Gillingham playoff game. When we went 2 down, he said something along the lines of "that's that". Then, after Dickov equalised, he said "the game wasn't over; I said that". The ultimate revisionist commentary!

I think it was the Blackburn away game where his name was being sung through the rafters, I'm sure of it.

Terrible decision by Franny to get rid.

A top bloke all round,very down to earth and approachable,also a brilliant man manager who had us playing some great attacking football.

His tenure was one i enjoyed.He definitely retains much affection for us.
