    David Rodgers (middle, third from left), Jimmy Mann (front, second from left), Geoff Merrick (front, centre) and Trevor Tainton (front, third from right) pictured as part of Bristol City's 1976-77 squad, when the club played in the top flight for the first time since 1911

    The octet - including Gerry Sweeney, Dave Rodgers, Peter Aitken, Chris Garland, Trevor Tainton, Jimmy Mann and Julian Marshall - have since gone down in City folklore as the 'Ashton Gate Eight', hailed locally as heroes.
