Shrewsbury Town v Exeter City Prediction/Discussion Thread

[wiveygrecian]

A few names there that I’d nearly forgotten about. Can’t recall Bradley at all.
Andy Cyrus was a regular in Club Rococo like most, guaranteed to score in there

Surprised you don’t remember Shayne Bradley, that was his only goal , he linked up well with Gary Alexander

Bradley was a bit of a bustling blonde/ginger striker on a short term loan from Southampton I think from memory. I would have to have a look at Grecian Archive to see if it was any more than one month. Not in the same class of Gary Alexander and didn't link up with Gary as well as Lee Boylan did earlier in the season.

I thought he did and I saw a lot of games that season

Not at all mate...I remember everyone from the 1970s & 80s though

Gary Alexander was class, a shame the club could not afford the £100k fee(iirc)to sign him permanently at the end of the season long loan from West Ham

I was there as well. Kofi Nyamah was one of many promising youngsters who signed for City in the mid-to-late 90's and looked good for a few games but who then saw their careers go backwards and in many cases never played professionally again. See also Andy Cyrus and John Sharpe amongst others.
Shayne Bradley, on the other hand, I have no memory of but according to Wikipedia he was last heard of doing time at His Majesty's pleasure.

I remember seeing Kofi Nymah score away at Barnet in August 1999. Decent player on his day!

He did alright but I thought Alexander linked up better with Boylan as a pair. Bradley was a bit too similar to Alexander.

Yep, remember that game 2-2, probably his best performance in a Grecian shirt.

Yes that was a big shame , he was quality and the fans if I remember tried to help the club raise some money for him

Yes there was a effort to raise the fee. It was a bargain really. Lucky to have a striker of that class on loan for the season to a struggling 4th Tier team.

He almost certainly was the reason we stayed up that season.

Anyway, back to our game tomorrow evening.
I’m currently at my base camp, which is within striking distance of Shrewsbury.
I’m hopeful (for me) of a decent result.
But if not, I’ll probably still enjoy it.
Strange, I know.
