The man has no shame
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.

ffs,wasn't his job was it?
Young had numerous benefit 'testimonials' including a dinner at Sachas but it was never enough,a leech of the highest order that couldn't move on

Injury in football is certainly an occupational hazard and as a result of that, one of City's great players faces losing a fecking limb for cryin out loud - I couldn't even begin to imagine facing that. Yes events have been held and the majority at the behest and organisation of the ex-players association and the fans. However the point of Neil's grievance was that he was promised something and Swales reneged on it.brianstrousers said:'All caused by an injury sustained playing for city'strongbowholic said:You couldn't be more wrong.

Reading your post, I'm feeling - and forgive me if I am wrong - it is yourself who is the 'hardfaced fucker'.

That is so wrong, players in todays era could be called leeches and did sod all for our club, you get my 2 fingered salute

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.
