City Players Who 'Liked a Pint'

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

Not true. Sinclair would often come into the bar I used to work in, have a meal with his girlfriend/mrs (same lady each time, just not sure if he was married to her) and he would only ever drink fresh orange juice.

What bar ?

I used to frequent Revolution in Alderley and he was in their fairly often supping.

The Village in Cheadle. I thought Revolution was in Wilmslow?

It is in Wilmslow.
On Alderley Road,but still in Wilmslow.

Can't wait for the next in the series, City Players Who Got Cancer and next week perhaps City Players Who Might Possibly Have Been Gay.

City players with dirty under crackers or city players who never kissed the badge

My Dad says he could smell the ale coming out of Roy Paul as he ran past the front of the Kippax.
"Hardest man to ever play for City"

Modern day AJ & MJ - what a waste of talent if true.

I think Roy Paul was the player who used to go into the Lord Lion before a game and sup 4 pints.

The Village hotel ? You are correct, Wilmslow not Alderley.

Yes, the Hotel. I thought it was in Wilmslow as I regularly used to see Kennedy, Tiatto and Whitley falling in and out of there.

Practically every player who kicked a ball prior to about 10 years ago.

The world used to be this free and easy place where you could have a pint or two at lunch without everyone condemning you as a lush. Where even professional footballers could knock back a pint or three after the game (and in some cases, before.)

That would have to be Adrian Heath. Possibly the only City player I have hated.

Quite correct. Most goalkeepers used to have a bottle of brandy or gin wrapped in the towel they used to keep in the net. Which Gary James book is it that mentions the bar that was just inside the tunnel at Maine Road - at least until the mid 70s - where players could pop and pull a pint when the trainer was on?
