Love your Certification tag for the products of the Academy that City sell.
When you’re grazing in the same field for 8 months, you can be sure, the grass in the fields just beyond your boundary fencing, looks a lot more appetising.
Clive’s brother Gus was around for a while, coached my lad when he was with the U11s at Platt Lane. Ian Scott also there. Remember him?
Gus was a great bloke, amazing personality, the Wilson family are proper people.
Not quite from nowhere. He handed in a transfer request following relegation as he didn’t want to play in division 2, which was fair enough.
Ian Bishop and Paul Stewart were mine. Especially replacing Stewart with Wayne Biggins. That being said, we managed to turn a profit on Biggins the following year, although not enough to offset the loss on David Oldfield who, like Biggins, was also bought one season and sold the next.
cheap seats i see, Tolmie had royalty sat with him
These two leaving was the biggest for me. When Malcolm Allison came I remember my dad saying watch 'Owen and Barnes now, they'll be great with him'. Selling them was the first thing he did, it was very disappointing.
Would you expect anything less from @tolmie's hairdoo :)
