Tony Towers?

Yep , he played 122 games for us .... then went to Sunderland where he played almost as many games , and then to Birmingham ..... he then went to the States to play for Tampa Bay and Vancouver.

He was a useful player to have around , was pretty reliable and always did a decent job ....... i think his last game for us was in the 74 league cup final.

Wikipedia has him down as finishing his career playing two games in 1984/85 for ...... Rochdale!

I remember him, he played about the same time as: Ray Ranson, Bobby MacDonald, Nicky Reid et al. Just into the John Bond era I believe which ironically was after Big Mal's last stint (RIP and God bless him). He had a tash reminiscent of Gerry Gow and Kenny Clements. He was a midfielder I think though he didn't play too many games that I saw back then, he was a squad player reall. Then again there wasn't after that FA Cup Final v Spuds :-(

That's not Tony Towers....Think you have him mixed up with Tony Henry
 
Who? He played in the European Cup Winners Cup final !

not a good picture that, he looks like that guy from dirty harry, scorpio or summat.
 
IMO he was a very good player,definately underated and should have never been allowed to leave as part of the swap deal.
City bought in Rodney Marsh and IMO that was a terrible mistake as TT was then dropped and we seemed to lose it in midfield from March onwards.
The title semed to be heading to Maine Road and would have done if TT had carried on playing in that team.
All history now,but still a bloody good player was TT.
 
Great Player. Should have kept him when we bought Tueart. As he went on to play
for England. Could have been our captain for years.<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 15, 2010 3:09 pm --<br /><br />Great Player. Should have kept him when we bought Tueart. As he went on to play
