    Yes...........I support Rovers; but in the 70's I was living in West London and was aware of the success City were having in the old First Division. There was a grudging admiration for Gerry Gow who seemed to embody the spirit of Bristol (City).
    It was a disgrace that as one of the Ashton Gate 8 he (amongst others) never got the testimonial his service deserved.
    So if any of you missed it you might be interested in this.

    Just a point, Gerry Gow wasn't one of the Ashton Gate Eight.

    The eight were:- Julian Marshall, Chris Garland, Jimmy Mann, Peter Aitken, Geoff Merrick, David Rodgers, Gerry Sweeney and Trevor Tainton.

    Gerry Gow left Bristol City for Manchester City in 1981 a year before the Ashton Gate Eight.
