Ian Bowyer

Same scenario a player being compared against the superstars of the club and coming up short very much like the present

He always looked awkward when running like he had two left feet. The general consensus of city fans was that he was a bit crap. He went away learned his trade and became an excellent player with Forest. He was a bit like Stan Bowles in that respect.

Bowles always had the ability and showed it on the occasions he played in the first team. His problem was the three B's - birds, booze and bookies.
 
Met him at a City reserve game a few years ago,he was scouting for his son who was at Blackburn.Like his son, a very decent man.Thought he was a good player,Clough saw what was needed,lets hope Pep has the same power.

He made a very good start to his career early in the 69/70, effectively replacing Tony Coleman in the starting XI, his form was so good in the first half of that season that he was seriously talked about as an outsider for the 1970 World Cup squad. When his form dipped a bit, which is almost inevitable with any young player, then as @petrusha mentioned the usual brain-dead element of our fanbase started giving him dogs abuse which was really helpful(!). His confidence dropped visibly and the following season he was mostly a sub and was sold to Orient at the end of that season. Fair play to him though he knuckled down and had the last laugh by impressing Cloughie and bagging a League title and two European Cup medals with Forest. Not the first or last youngster that we've let go only for them to prosper elsewhere.

Amazing,we've still got that brain-dead element fan base,they've doing it to Yaya all season !
 
I remember the Kippax boo boys giving him some really dreadful treatment.
As a young kid it was my first experience of the boo boys.
Nasty. Very nasty indeed.
