    Nice to see a great guy honoured, he was such a humble person, I loved the story where he used to take his home produced eggs in a basket to Ashton Gate to sell to the players, I can't imagine Ronaldo doing that.

    He was my absolute idol, great memories.

    That's very cool !

    I wish I'd seen Atyeo play but I'm just a bit too young. The first Centre Forward I saw for City was John Galley.

    Got worried then with this thread name. Big John has not posted for ages and thought the worse.

    We played Colchester twice at home in 1964.

    March 1963/4 season won 3-1

    October 1964/5 season drew 1-1
