City Greats No Longer Connected To City.

[fbloke]

I read somewhere on here that Neil Young had finally been provided with a role at City. I hope that is true as he will no doubt welcome both the money and the buzz around the club.

Paul Lake is now working for CITC and sometimes bump into Ian Brightwell doing his corporate schmoozing at games. All good stuff IMO.

The current Board have made it a priority to recognise the history of the club and put considerable effort into healing old wounds with ex-players and offering opportunities for them to again be involved.

Is Alan Oakes for example never at COMS? I dont recall many references to him in discussions about the glory years etc.

I for one would like Oakes back at City in some capacity. For the younger and newer fans not sure why just get over to Wikipedia and have a look.

Another, although not a player, would be Roy Bailey. I was talking to Lakey at the ASD day at the end of last season and even he doesnt know where Roy is and what he is doing.

But which ex-player(s) do you miss (they have to be alive of course) and would like to see back at the club?

A mate of mine met Roy Bailey a couple of years ago.

He's working in the playground industry for an ex-Arsenal pro. Sadly that player's identity eludes me but it was someone from the 80s.

I know Lakey would like to make contact with him again so c'mon give your head a shake ;-)

Considering how long he was associated with City he needs to be recognised dont you think?

I can easily find out if you want, and even get a number, fbloke.

Roy Bailey, whilst hardly a City legend, was a part of the fabric of the club for all my young years supporting them. Managers came and went but Roy's bald head and magic sponge was one of the few constants at Maine Road.

Neil Young is one hard faced fucker,he's almost made a career out of slagging City off because they and everyone else owe him something.
The man has no shame

DD, I know Lakey would be grateful so if you PM me any info I will get it over to him. Or if you know Paul just let him know.

Roy Bailey must still be the fastest physio in the history football as well. ;-)

You couldn't be more wrong.

Youngie had a grievance as Swales reneged on a promise. I'm sure further detail was posted on here by someone explaining his reluctance to pursue this any further as well.

I understand the prognosis on his leg doesn't make for good reading either and there is a strong possibility he is going to lose it (please God let that be misinformation I've been given) and all caused by an injury sustained playing for City.

So yes, proper hardfaced fucker.

Whilst Roy Bailey was a long time fixture at the club. I think Mr Lake might have something to say about his diagnostic skills.

Also Roy was a raging piss head.
