Trevor Christie

Good to see City’s greatest ever striker get a mention!

Yes it was, I remember it mainly because I couldn't get time off work to travel down and consoled myself that I hadn't missed much.

You missed a good booze

You’ve contributed more to City than the other GD did, not much maybe, but more

Do you really want to get into a debate about the net effect on the club of our respective namesakes?!

Tbf gdm I have never made any positive claim about swales, so as bad as Gordon Davies was I don’t think anyone has had a more negative impact on City in my lifetime than PS.

GD is actually the cover pic on the match day programme for Trevor Christies home debut..ive recently been going thru old programmes and found it..23/8/86 City v Wimbledon
To be on the front page at the start of a season is no mean feat!
According to the match programme we,d just beaten Barcelona (on pens) in the much respected Colombina Tournament 8 days earlier....before then drawing 2-2 with Huelva ,with yours truly poaching both goals in the last pre season fixture...hence front page of the match day programme.
This was my first ever home game at Maine Road...The youth team had just won the youth cup,Paul Moulden was proudly in the guiness book of records for scoring 289 goals in one season as a school-boy and was of course part of that youth team..and Peter Swales announced in the programme " City fans deserve the best"..
Before going on to say "it would be pointless to go overboard about our chances this season,..but i am optimistic "
A few weeks later our manager resigned and went to Aston Villa.
Typical City.

Misplaced optimism from PJS as we were relegated in May.
I Remember Christie signing then departing very quickly afterwards, he looks in decent nick in the bottom pic, without looking it up I,'d guess he'd be around 60 now? Yet he's still working, something most of todays top level players won't need to do.
