Without dwelling on it, the City crowd has always bullied players. Edgehill bore the brunt for a lot of our late 90s failures but so did others like Summerbee and Brannon. It was still happening in the new stadium with Vassell,Mills and McManoman. It still goes on to this day with all the “FFS” references to Mahrez although they are on The internet rather than in the stadium. Maybe it happens at every club and is just part of a fan psychology.Totally agree mate. Still makes my mind boggle to this day. Edgehill was/is a thoroughly decent fella and no way did he deserve the abuse he got. No one should have to put up with that kind of abuse at work. Faceless bullies. I remember Nicky Summerbee copping for loads as well. I think Nicky was a bit stronger mentally than Richard though.
I was only a kid/young lad at the time and there was nothing I could do about. No way would I allow a fellow blue to abuse one of our players in that manner today.
