Remember him now,it has jogged my memory,when Bally was first appointed he met the supporters club in the boardroom under the Grandstand & Stuart Dawe was with him..Only about 20 of us there,I found it fascinating listening to him,his passion & vision..
Allen Trump was before my time...Heard loads of stories about him though...Perhaps the most famous being the flooding of the pitch to ensure a game we didn't want played, didn't happen... (sorry about the double negative)
Incredible that Bally could have left the game of football altogether after the appalling vitriol he suffered from Stoke fans. His time at City apparently provided renewed enthusiasm and he went on to manage Man City following his time here.
I thought it was season ticket holders. Both me and one of my brothers went - he was someone you could listen to all night. He had a little chuckle when asked about potential signings when Shelton had signed loads of players already. Bally smiled and said ahh, but he’s got to pay their wages throughout the summer, we don’t need to spend all our money quite so early. Superb stuff.
terrific return for a first season, though for me was hardly unexpected, for ollie imo the championship is easily within his capabilties, the next step WILL be testing but i'm absolutely sure he can do it, and in 4 to 5 years he'll be on the verge or in the england squad
