[Webbo MFI]

page will look something like this

[mdetaylor]

Rob Haworth (if only for his goal at Ashton)

- sponsoring him was money well spent

[Webbo MFI]

err...Rob signed for Hendon!!

[SAINTS64MAD]

Richard Watkiss- He used to do football with me at London Colney.

 

Billy Minter- My Grandad knew him

 

Lenny Piper- Just was my Favourite player

 

Rob Haworth- Same

 

Polly- Was solid

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

John Pollard will never be a ledgend (he was a nice bloke but so is Richard Evans....).

 

I can't beleave that the likes of Cockram (I mean Lenny was good, but Cockram was great), Duffs and Erskine haven't been mentioned.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Yeah, I'll go along with all of those.

 

One or two outsiders:

 

Dean Williams - great partnership with Clarky

Justin Gentle

Matt Jones

Jon Daly

Greg Howell

Steve Cox

Gareth Howells

Shaun Brett

 

All fairly recent, a few older ones now:

 

Ian Whitehead - 361 apps

Billy Broomfield - 76 goals in 176 apps

Nick O'Donoghue - 74 goals in 160 apps

 

[info from Steve Clark testimonial program]

[Webbo MFI]

an idea....that maybe people here could help me with.

 

Thought I'd start a City Legends page. Obviously the likes of Clark, Minter etc. would be on there but need suggestions including details of apps , goals, time with club ect.

 

anyone??

 

oh and if anyone has pictures from old programmes that would be great!

Indeed , excellent goal at Ashton, Ashley's was err.....,,,

good programme on you CC last night

 

as for legends what about Trevor Cox???

[mdetaylor]

Programme? I must have missed something

 

What abount Shaun Close (portly chap who used to play for Barnet - not all that good but provided amusement)

 

Also remember a City player who was a Brentford legend (not Cockram) - but there was a local Brentford fan who came to watch Detsi Kruzinsky (I apologise for the spelling )

[ESG]

BBC 2 9.00

Sir Winston and Eric Arthur Blair

 

did Shaun Close play for Hemel as well?

[mdetaylor]

Ah I see - the great cigared one has been in the papers as well over his dislike of De Gaulle

 

Shaun Close may have run a kebab shop in Hemel

[Rob_the_Saint]

Shaun Close now runs The George PH in Hoddesdon and organizes the S.O.B.S Golf Society.

 

Played for (there may be more): Spurs, Swindon, Bournemouth, Barnet, Bishops Stortford.

 

Here he is in Barnet colours:

I thought Wayne Andrews was good but he didn't stay long enough to become a ledgend! I will ask my dad. I cant ask my Grandad cos he passed away last week. He could remember the saints team from the 1920's! But he could never remember wot he did the day before!
