Transfer Rumours Jan 2018 City Transfer Thread

Do we hold some sort of record for players having career ending injuries playing for us......

 

Super kevin francis?

 

On the other side though...the player who bringing back my best memories is stuart elliot..lover watching him

 

How do think i feel..i married one

 

We have put a bit in for scott mckenna from aberdeen apparently

 

I remember one Xmas coming back home from Aberdeen to see the kids, and we went to a party, and the women hosting the party was Scottish, but being down in Hull for a long time there was no problem to understand her. However she had a mother down who lived in Fraserburgh which is just North of Aberdeen and no one other than me could understand a word she was saying, and I ended up translating for them.

 

Francis did a perfectly decent job for someone we knew was past his peak when we signed him. He wouldn't be in the bottom 50 City players I've seen.

 

Agreed.

 

There have been some games this season where every City player seems to have been named Riga Mortis.

 

I think you're right. 2-1 away win and they missed a pen near the end. Remember beiing in their awful away end that ran the side of the pitch.

Jones deffo scored v Hartlepool at home too

 

Didn't Bonner get an injury (and a goal) on his debut and never played for us again?

 

The only consolation in reading all these names is I was younger when they were around. Apart from that it's the stuff of nightmares.
I don't know what div 3 and 4 are like now but it can't be as bad as those days.

 

I liked Francis too.

Although, when he was at Stockport, him and Preece were a nightmare. Francis regularly hit 30+ and Preece was never that far behind.

I used to like Edgeley Park prior to it being all-seater.

 

His partnership with Rodney was fantastic. Enjoyed their prolific partnership.

 

I remember starting work somewhere where someone was always referred to as Rigger. I thought this was because he was a fitter or something similar. It was actually a reference to him being so slow it was like he had rigor mortis.

 

He played a few friendlies I think?

 

He probably did but it seems he played a load more other league games for us too - which I didn't remember at all

 

Burnistoun? ****ing brilliant

 

We will soon find out.
