I had a reasonable view of that free kick from the old main stand, but couldn’t tell if it was going in from my angle. All blues round about me were quiet as the ball arced towards the goal. Amazed when it hit the net.

Decent, honest, hard-working and reliable. Just seemed to lack a bit of confidence.
Not saying you're wrong but I distinctly remember reading, many many moons ago (I mean, I think it was in Shoot! and he was still at City - it was that long ago) that he qualified at Queens University Belfast.PP read law at Leeds Poly, whether he went on to qualify I doubt. Too busy playing our silly game.

Great servant, loved the club, a nice bloke too.
Was gutted at the shit attendance for his testimonial, he deserved much better.

He may have done that after poly, but it seems unlikely. Deffo part one of qually at Leeds. Maybe back then you had to do a uni exam after a poly course.Not saying you're wrong but I distinctly remember reading, many many moons ago (I mean, I think it was in Shoot! and he was still at City - it was that long ago) that he qualified at Queens University Belfast.

Like many, I have a lot of time for Paul Power. Always thankful for the incredible memories of his goals at in that 81 cup run. That was his best season in my view.
Never really thought he was much more than a decent to good player. He only needed to be decent-good when surrounded by the King (for a short time), Asa, Owen, Tueart etc.
Also, only needed to be decent-good and he was good when Bond put together that well balanced team which had a good mixture of ages, grit, skill and personality.
Unfortunately just being decent when in Div 2 and the likes of Johnson, Chris Jones, Bodak etc. Really bad he got booed, I remember it was the back end of 83-84 when we had drifted away from promotion, had a lot of frustration taken out on him.

Loved him as a player and saw him with school kids when he was with City in the Community. He came to school, coached the kids and was a straightforward, no edge, no arrogance guy. Always happy to chat about his days as a player. Found the same with Alex Williams and Barney Daniels too.
