CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU SIR, ARE OUR WINNER!! I'd forgotten all about "Big" Tony
Signed him on loan from BlackpooI I seem to remember... Was Jimmy Frizzel the guilty man?

I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when i saw him play,how he made a living as a footballer is beyond me!I think he was signed on the basis of one game against us when he terrorised our defence[which wasn't hard in those days] but i have never seen a more innefective player at City and i have seen some dross in 44 years!
Just looked him up he made 18 appearances for us and scored one goal.He now works as a solicitor,maybe i should sue him for masquerading as a footballer when i handed over my hard earned cash to watch him!

I remember watching him in a friendly at Crewe, and it was painful watching him, even though we scored 5.paulchapo said:GeorgeHeslop'sTackle. said:paulchapo said:Tony Cunningham!One of the slowest laziest players i have ever seen at City.I don't think i ever saw him run or break sweat,i don't think he lasted long either!

Amazed no one has mentioned.... Jason Van Blerk. All the cliches rolled into one. Made a fucking one legged piss head look fast. Barry Conlan? My personal yardstick on how far we had fallen. That was one fraud of an athlete.

As someone said earlier in the thread these players show how high we've risen from such a low base. Forgotten van de blerk. Shocking.

Weren't that fonztec?<br /><br />-- Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:38 pm --<br /><br />Joey firkin Barton anyone.taleofbluehalves said:andyhinch said:Remember him being called statuesque at the time:)taleofbluehalves said:I'd go Eike Immel in goal. We have a tradition of signing good keepers and but Ball signed him!
Ref gave pen against him for holding Cantona down even though the ball was about 3 feet above his head.
With a nom-de-plume like that, you've just got to be a ' Fall ' fan ? I know, I saw a guy rip his season ticket to shreds in front of Clough Junior after encroaching the playing area whilst we were struggling some time in the second half of the nineties. Total waste of dough ( we didn't have at the time) but, we were a soft touch for has-beens and never any where nears in them days. ps "Cruiser's Creek" would be a 'Desert Island Disc' selection for me !The Kurious Oranj said:Nigel Clough wore concrete boots. Can't believe he got 14 England caps.
I saw him score for us at Coventry !Joliet Jake Blues said:Anyone who watched the class City side of the mid-seventies will remember with horror the name of Jimmy Conway, by far the slowest professional footballer I have ever seen. His lack of mobility was only hightened by the fact that Tony Book said that he'd bought him "for his extra yard of pace". He cost a princely £30,000 which would have been better spent demolishing and replacing the Gents at the foot of the Kippax steps. Mercifully he only played 13 times over 18 months before buggering off to Portland Timbers. He wasn't missed.
