City 1993 - only just over a generation ago

There was a lot of misinformation from the PJS camp, including briefing the media that City fans had been harassing Swales’s mum in an old persons home. The home denied this. And I think Mrs Swales tried to deny that Peter was her son

Both sides had their supporters in the media. Think The Mirror was pro-Lee to the extent of giving away Forward With Franny badges, while the likes of Lawton etc were pro-Swales

Not all under Swales though. Only the first 3 were and Rocastle was a straight swap for White with no cash changing hands IIRC. Having said that, I think Alfons Groenendijk should be on that list as I'm sure he signed in the summer of 1993 for about 500k.
On another note, I always felt that Carl Griffiths was a very underrated striker and was surprised he didn't move to a bigger club from Shrewsbury sooner. 5 years earlier in our 1988/89 promotion season he scored both goals for them in a 2-2 draw at Maine Road

Griffiths had a decent start at City but his initial good form tailed off dramatically. Remember him giving Everton and England’s Dave Watson (not the real one) a torrid time in one home game

It was Swales’s camp that we’re doing a lot of it for themselves, but yeah they will have briefed via the media
