Lee Hurst was one hell of a prospect and Robson a Rolls Royce alongside him. Such a shame about their injuries, although we wouldn't have got Robson in the first place if he hadn't had a few already I suppose.

Bet he was good at that!

Chris Jackson, there's another one! He was great for me as a kid for a Bristol City save. Ha Torchomatic is a big Trevor Putney fan too, we were talking about him just a few months back! Again, he was in my Bristol City side. He's also part of the glorious Leyton Orient squad in the "Kilnsmann...

We are kindred nostalgia spirits! I liked the one about the fish and the castle. And the "dickhead" gesture when driving, hee hee. Favourite Detectives ep was the one with Birmingham City being in the cup final and Jasper ending up the hostage of an escaped con, his main concern for the entire...

He was brilliant the first version he was in, AM/FC! If you play as City, he's raw but pops up with winner after winner in key games first season (which is more than can be said for Ndlovu and Quinn) before blossoming into Ireland's best player after the end-season break. If you're not City, you...

Part of a couple of massive wins there against Arsenal and Liverpool!: Tony Sheridan

Reading up on some of our old players the other day, I stumbled over this article: Tony Sheridan: 'I'd like to be remembered as a player people loved to go and watch' He was a youngster I was really excited about and thought was going to be a star for us. There was a bit of a buzz about him, he...

Ah I know, he was lethal against us. I kinda hated him as a kid but grew to really like him over time as I learnt an appreciation for his goalscoring. Maybe I just liked Everton more than West Ham, he was maybe a bit less prolific against us for them? The brace in the 4-4 with Liverpool was...

Cheers, have one back!

I know-not first hand but from him playing proper passes on the deck on pitches that look like ploughed fields on grainy footage. The irony! The piece mentions that too, but also says that he never did much more in management after Cambridge: he was actually Assistant Manager at Histon when they...

Awesome, just put Cottee up on the CM97 DB. Shooting 16 wasn't enough, 18 for me. Goalscorer.

Killer got a good mention in a piece I read the other day about Jon Beck's Cambridge and when they started to get "found out" at a higher level: Route One - theBlizzard.co.uk “We played off other people’s mistakes. But the better people you play against, the less they give you the ball back. We...

Reckon he'll start on the bench and keep Andreu in the "hole" behind JCH, assuming JCH is fit after his knock Saturday. Chaplin will need to build up his fitness I guess? And we should have learnt about just chucking new signings in by now!

Oh yeah still good. After the Sheff U game it was P9, W2, D6, L1. Before the Sheff U game it had been P13, W9, D3 L1. Including an incredible run of 7 wins on the bounce! In total, a record of P23, W11, D9, L3 in all competitions from when Boateng made his debut. Heady days indeed.

Heard John Murray and Chris Waddle waxing lyrical about Maddison in the build up to the matches on Sat. Both said he had a good chance of being in the next England squad and Waddle said he's exactly the sort of creative, technically gifted attacking midfielder that England lack. So what we've...

He's not a number, he's a free man!

Just spotted this post-bang on what I'd make the best XI back then! Hedman was an improvement on Oggy at the time, Boateng transformed the midfield and was a massive upgrade on McAllister (and we really missed George when he had a knock for a while) and incredibly, Trond and Telfer were present...

I've actually been reading up loads on the mid-late 90's seasons as I update the Champ Man 97 DB to be more realistic. This is a great site: Coventry City match record: 1998 Think Whelan was injured for most of the start of the 97 season as it was mostly Dion and Huckerby up front. I can't see...

Ah Peter Reid and Morrell on the wing, genius.

And yet Hughes and Doyle both won player of the year at the club in the Championship when we mostly played 442! That was before the awful Bell and McIndoe though....and Hughes lost it amazingly badly after his first 18 months at the club to the point that all he would do is pass it 5 yards...
