Nigel Blackwell again magically takes me back to my childhood. Much older than he am I but I still recall the annoyance of opening up my sticker packet and gazing upon the smirk of another Bobby Tambling. And he is a Jehovahs Witness.

Were Umbro nipple tassels unique to Bristol City? I’m sure the equivalent kit for Manchester City had a club crest on one side.

Had a testimonial at Ashton Gate in July 2012 to which 4000 fans turned up. Conewankery (q v) led to the Man City legends team arriving 45 minutes late, but they still beat their Bristol counterparts 2 – 1.

Heswall, Cheshire ) who buggered off to play cricket again for Somerset in their tour of the West Indies, spring 1986 ..

SIDESHOW BOB
Jerzy Paweł Gorgoń (born 18 July 1949 in Zabrze) was a Polish football player who is remembered for his participation in the 1972 Summer Olympics. He was a 6’4″ tall defender who became well known in 1967 while playing for Górnik Zabrze. He helped Zabrze to five consecutive Polish cups in 1968-72.
He received 55 international caps overall,[1] and took on the role of captaincy once. He also played in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal,[2][3]
Gorgoń moved to Argentina in 1978. He had a mostly unsuccessful time there and moved back to Switzerland in 1980 to play for FC Gallen. He later coached the reserve and youth teams of Blau-Weiss St. Gallen as well as at the football academy in Gossau.

I may be wrong but I believe in my John Toshack annual there was a quiz where Tosh wore shirts he’d swapped over the years and you had to work out from a few clues whose shirt it was – I’m pretty sure Gorgon was one of them.

Should you know or even feel the need to approach a Bristol City supporter of the upper 50 age group you can claim a free pasty of your choice by reciting
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s every f*cking where”
To which the response should be
“Gerry Gow, Gerry Gow”

“He’s here, he’s there, he’s every f*cking where”
To which the response should be
“Rodney Fern, Rodney Fern” 1968-72
“Stevie Earle, Stevie Earle” 1973-76
“Alan Young, Alan Young” 1979-83
“Stevie Walsh, Stevie Walsh” 1988-2000
The song was officially retired when Walshy left

Someone should compile a graph showing how well you have done in the years when someone was everywhere, in comparison to the years when nobody was everywhere, but everybody was somewhere.
