For us younger ones was there anything I could have moaned about?
Jim McNichol's free kick goal against Rochdale not being filmed properly by the cameraman. That ****ed me off.

City having to play at Watling Street Three times in one season. Once vs Dartford and twice vs Maidstone.

Richard Young being called 'Tyson' when he was about 5 inches taller and somewhat darker.

Clive Whitehead looking like a dodgy scouser

Our poor goal celebrations...players just used to run back to the centre circle doing high fives

It was a truly infuriating season

Steve Neville used to keep falling over in the penalty area, which was annoying







to the opposition.

Terry Cooper having a contract that meant he received a percentage of the transfers fees in the subsequent season.

Struggling to think of anything Jay, clutching at straws by saying Danny Baileys embarrassing rain dance on Football Focus before one of the games, Norwich I think ?
Wasn't Danny Bailey's rain dance before the Aston Villa FA cup game? Not even sure if it was that season.

To answer Jays question: Our ground was even worse back then. Basically take the roof off the big bank and remove the seats from the Doble and you have the old St James Park.

larfing at you lot
Not to mention the dodgy clause about getting a cut of any transfers (or something bizarre like that).
And scoring three and four away from home and still getting beat (4-3 by Peterborough and 5-4 by Scunthorpe).
Clive Whiteheads thuggery when he stuck Terry Gennoe (Blackburn keeper) in hospital during a Littlewoods Cup game (which we went on to win 3-0 and 4-2 on agg).
The fact we didn't cash in on Dazza before he got buggered.
I didn't know Dazza went on Jim'll fix it??
