Bristol City finished second that year - don't ask me how I know this - but I am sure I gave it as a pub quiz question many moons ago!
Bristol Rovers eh ? Isn't that where the Piemaster came from when he joined our friends down the road ? He's never looked back.............................mainly because he has difficulty in turning his head due to the overwhelming size of his girth
Did anyone go to Twerton Park while Rovers played there? I saw Pompey win with 10 men there once. Fatty Aspinall got himself sent off and we had every slice of luck go our way that day.
