FROM THE 

Editor 

It’s Matchday 14 of the league campaign and nearing mid-October, if you 

can believe it, and on Wednesday night it’s the challenge of Preston North 

End in BS3. 

Hats off to our opponents, with 

Preston boasting the sturdiest 

defence across the EFL. They have 

conceded just six goals so far, a 

third of those against Norwich City 

in a 3-2 win on Saturday. 

However, as we’ll see across the 

opposition pages in this midweek 

programme, scoring goals hasn’t 

been their strong suit to date. 

Here’s hoping things continue in 

that fashion on Wednesday. 

As for City, we had been enjoying 

finding the back of the net, 

matching the results to go with 

those goals. Unfortunately our 

winning run at home came to an 

end against QPR, and Coventry City 

held us to a goalless draw a week 

ago, so a bounce back win would 

be most welcome. 

Wins against Preston have 

historically been hard to come by. 

Some who believe in superstition 

would consider them a ‘bogey team’ 

but I was thankful to be reporting 

on our three points in the 2-0 win 

back in January 2021. Famara

Diédhiou and Zak Vyner scored that 

day, a fixture played behind closed 

doors due to Covid-19 restrictions, 

to mark a first win over the 

Lilywhites in 15 previous attempts. 

In fact, it had been 11 years to the 

day since our last home win over 

them! 

In the latest issue of the Robins 

we take an even further look back 

into the archives, with Mike Adams 

shining light on a fixture against the 

Lilywhites from 1990 and Supporter 

Liaison Officer Jerry Tocknell 

returns with his Away Days feature. 

He recalls a 1-1 draw from the 

2014/15 campaign, as well as the 

time we played on a plastic pitch in 

the North West. 

We also take a look at the 

Under-21s, with the Young Robins 

also firing on all cylinders in the 

Professional Development League 

South. 

I hope you enjoy the latest read and 

the game ahead.

Good evening to you all for this rearranged fixture 

against Preston North End. 

We extend a warm welcome to Ryan Lowe, his staff, 

players and the travelling fans and hope you all enjoy 

the game. 

We go into this match after the weekend’s 

disappointment at Birmingham City, so it’s about 

a big response on our own turf. 

We’ve got to prove to ourselves and our fans that 

there is a lot more fight in us than we showed at the 

weekend. 

A good run has been followed up by a run which is 

proving a bit difficult to break out of at the moment. 

We need to find a performance and result which is 

more in keeping with what we’ve been about in the 

early part of the season. That’s the challenge for all 

of us. 

Selection has been a big conversation but we can’t 

make wholesale changes – we are not in a position to 

do that – and I also think we have players who are, as 

a rule, been very reliable too. 

What we have to do as a group of staff is to try to give 

the players both the opportunity but give them also 

confidence to go out there and perform. 

That’s certainly my job and I’m very hopeful that we 

can turn it around on Wednesday because ultimately 

we have a decent group of people and talent within 

the squad. 

This match against Preston is a new opportunity for 

us, Saturday is behind us and I expect a big response 

to help generate a special energy at Ashton Gate. 

Enjoy the game. 

Cheers, 

Nige. 

NIGEL 

Pearson 

WE’VE GOT TO PROVE TO OURSELVES AND OUR FANS 

THAT THERE IS A LOT MORE FIGHT IN US THAN WE 

SHOWED AT THE WEEKEND.

President Marina Dolman helped present the Harry Bamford Trophy to the family 

of the late Peter Hayes during half-time of our fixture against Coventry City. 

Peter, who passed away earlier this year, upheld the values of professionalism, 

sportsmanship and good conduct across the city of Bristol. He was a Bristol City 

apprentice and played for Bath City, Robinsons, and Highridge United as well as 

being player manager at long-established local club St Aldhelm’s, where he led 

them to league and cup triumph. 

The trophy was presented to his wife Mary and close family. 

Buy or finance a car online and we’ll deliver it to 

your door with a 7-Day Money Back Guarantee. 

The annual award recognises dedicated local players and managers across 

Bristol – a legacy in honour of Harry Bamford, a professional footballer who 

made 486 appearances for Bristol Rovers but sadly passed away at just 38. 



INTERVIEW 

Zak Vyner 

A proud Zak Vyner celebrated his milestone 100th appearance for the 

club in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town. 

The Academy graduate joined the 

100 club six years after making 

his debut against MK Dons - 

coincidentally also a 2-0 win. 

Since then, he has been on loan 

at Plymouth Argyle, Accrington 

Stanley and Rotherham United 

before returning to City, where it 

had always been Vyner’s ambition 

to make it as a Robin. 

definitely proud of. I got there and 

topped it off with a win and a clean 

sheet which was lovely as well, with 

my parents there to watch me, so 

that was the icing on the cake. 

“I play alongside a lot of Academy 

lads as well so I think it’s a great 

advert of what we’re about here and 

I was over the moon to make 100 

appearances for this club.” 

The versatile right-sided defender 

explained that having come through 

the Academy from the age of nine, 

to reach triple figures at Ashton 

Gate was “even sweeter.” 

One of his fellow Academy 

graduates is top scorer Tommy 

Conway. “He’s been on flames this 

season,” added Vyner. “We see 

it every day and it’s a great thing 

that he’s doing it in the games. 

ANYONE WHO MAKES 100 

APPEARANCES FOR THEIR CLUB IS 

GOING TO FEEL SENTIMENTAL BUT 

FOR ME, HAVING BEEN HERE SINCE I 

WAS A KID, AND TO END UP HITTING 

THAT NUMBER IS AMAZING. 

He said; “I’ve done all the loans and 

my aim while I was doing those 

was to come back and be a Bristol 

City player. I’ve been able to do that, 

and establish myself here. Anyone 

who makes 100 appearances 

for their club is going to feel 

sentimental but for me, having been 

here since I was a kid, and to end 

up hitting that number is amazing. 

“It’s a big achievement, one I’m 

I’m delighted to see him get the 

chances and back that up with 

goals and assists, honestly I’m over 

the moon for TC!” 

Vyner’s now closing in on hitting 

the 200 career marker. He has 

appeared in every Championship 

game so far, providing assists in 

our first two games of the season 

and he played a key role in our 

earlier unbeaten run.

net - his first goal fo the club. 

Former City goalkeeper and coach 

Rene Gilmartin then described it 

on Robins TV as a “shank” to which 

Vyner laughs at. 

“He got that spot on, to be fair,” he 

said. “I like to think it was a great 

finish but it was a great moment 

really, just being for my first goal. 

I’ll remember it for however long, 

annoyingly it wasn’t with fans but 

still a great moment.” 

Shank or no shank, more of the 

same in midweek please, Zak.

Preston North End head to BS3 having conceded just six goals in the 

league, unbeaten away from home. 

Last month’s 1-0 loss to 

Birmingham City proved to be 

a first defeat of the season 

(following August’s Carabao Cup 

exit to Wolves) was made worse 

when frustrated boss Ryan Lowe 

was sent off. He had made his 

frustrations known citing he was 

“disappointed in some of the 

[referee] decisions.” 

North End had become only the 

third English side in history to 

start the league season with 

seven consecutive clean sheets 

but they’ve lost twice since defeat 

to the Blues, after a 2-0 defeat to 

Sheffield United a fortnight later. 

But the goals - despite Saturday’s 

result at Carrow Road - have 

been hard to come by in the 

league. Preston have scored 12 in 

total, with four of those put past 

Huddersfield Town in the Carabao 

Cup. After their 2-1 second round 

defeat to Wolves, it means North 

End have only managed seven 

Championship goals from 13 

games with their record, despite 

having a resilient defence, 

standing at W4, D7, L2. 

However Manager Lowe is keeping 

belief in his forwards. 

Speaking to BBC Sport last month 

he said: “We know we need to find 

that little bit of quality to score, 

I believe the lads we have at the 

club have got the quality to score 

goals. We are creating chances. 

I will speak to the strikers and try 

and instil some belief into them 

that they will score goals and I’m 

sure they will.” 

Emil Riis certainly has taken his 

manager’s words on board, with 

his brace helping secure a 3-2 win 

over Norwich City at the weekend. 

THE BOSS 

Ryan Lowe 

BORN | SEPTEMBER 18TH 1978 

APPOINTED | DECEMBER 7TH 2021 

A well-travelled striker in his playing days, Lowe scored 212 

goals while representing 14 clubs between 1999-2018. That 

period of service included two spells at Chester, three at 

Crewe and a further two at Bury, where he retired. 

He twice gained promotion from League Two with Bury, where 

was a caretaker manager/player during his final season. 

He led the team to promotion from League Two in 2018/19, 

before taking on the matter role at Plymouth Argyle. 

He also led the Pilgrims to League One at the first time of 

asking but resigned last December to take on the challenge 

at Preston.

Emil Riis Jakobsen pounced in stoppage

Chris Martin had put us ahead after 13 

minutes, before Jakobsen scored his first 

of the day just before the hour mark. 

We had been dominant in this game 

but saw plenty of chances go begging 

however a rare win over Preston looked set 

when Antoine Semenyo restored our lead 

inside the final ten minutes. 

However, Jakobsen had the final say, 

finding the back of the net again with his 

95th-minute volleyed finish.

You shall not pass…Liam Lindsay has played every 

minute of Championship football this season, forming 

part of the defence which had conceded zero goals 

from seven games before last month’s defeat to 

Birmingham City. 

Lindsay also boasts an impressive tackle ratio, having 

won 19 of his 25 attempts, to become a key figure in 

the North End defence having been used fleetingly last 

season. 

The Scotland defender began his career at Partick 

Thistle with loans at Alloa and Airdrieonians. He moved 

south of the border to Barnsley in 2017, where he 

earned promotion from League One, followed by a twoyear 

spell at Stoke City. 

He joined Preston on loan in the latter stages of the 

2020/21 season, making 13 appearances and scoring 

twice before making the move permanent that summer. 

The 26-year-old centre-back has since made 29 

appearances for the Lilywhites in all competitions.

The left-sided midfielder from 

Manchester United’s Academy

in North End’s sure-but-steady 

2022/23 campaign so far. The 

Republic of Ireland international 

was also the star performer against 

both Luton Town and Rotherham 

last month, assisting the only goal 

as the Hatters were defeated 1-0.

Our Young Robins secured their seventh 

and eighth wins of the season to round 

off September top of the Professional 

Development League South table. 

Goalkeeper Stefan Bajic earned more 

minutes between the sticks and enabled 

his team to grab a fifth clean sheet in a 

1-0 away win at Reading. 

It was Sam Bell who scored the game’s 

only goal with a left-foot shot after a cross 

from Joe Porton. 

Bell then picked up where he left off, with 

his brace enough to secure a 2-1 home 

win over Swansea City. 

The forward scored a screamer in the 

third minute and then added a second 

just after the hour-mark, before Tarrelle 

Whittaker grabbed a goal back with 15 

minutes left to play. 

It came after Swansea had picked up the 

pace but only saw efforts from range from 

Nathaniel Ogbeta and Filip Lissah before 

Whittaker halved the deficit. 

The Young Robins rallied and almost 

restored their two-goal cushion with Bell, 

on the search for a hat-trick, hitting the 

post.

Chatting in the Kofi Lounge at Ashton Gate before the noon kick-off against 

Cardiff City, the conversation inevitably got round to other early starts. 

A game against Preston North End came up with an 11.30am kick-off. 

Apparently it was a very quiet atmosphere at the start. 

Subsequent research confirmed the game was on New Year’s Day 1990. This 

finale to the festive season followed two away trips - Fulham on Boxing Day, 

a handy 1-0 win and the long trek to Huddersfield only to lose 2-1 two days 

previously. The supporters had Christmas and the New Year celebrations 

behind them. All possible explanations for the atmosphere despite the Robins 

occupying third spot going into the game. 

The Robins found it hard to get going but received a late Christmas gift on 36 

minutes. Andy Llewellyn’s cross glanced off the head of defender Gary Swann 

and over keeper Alan Kelly to put the Robins ahead. Minutes later Kelly made 

a great save from Dave Smith while David Rennie and Mark Gavin had shots 

blocked to keep the score down to 1-0 at the break. 

The Lilywhites produced little in reply until after the break. Steve Harris’ shot 

hit the side netting. Kelly again made a string of great saves. Gavin’s corners 

led to several scrambles in the area and Kelly saved from Rennie and Rob 

Newman before making his one fatal mistake. He could not hold the ball from 

Gavin’s corner on 71 minutes and it fell kindly for Newman to fire into the roof 

of the net from six yards. 

The Robins were still struggling and Brian Mooney gave the Lilywhites hope 

when he scored the best goal of the game from 25 yards with five minutes of 

regular time left but it was a classic case of too little, too late.

HALL OF FAME 

Gary Collier 

Well it certainly seemed an 

age since we had been Ashton 

Gate before we faced QPR. It 

was great to get back at home 

and now to play this rearranged 

fixture against Preston North 

End. 

September was a big month for 

the Former Players Association as 

we have celebrated our 

first year in existence. In that time 

we have secured our own lounge in 

the form of the “Legends Lounge” 

above the Sports Bar where we 

have been able to accommodate 

our 17 ambassadors who come 

from different eras in the club’s 

history. 

You will no doubt see our 

ambassadors around the ground 

today in their club blazers and ties, 

so don’t forget to have a photo 

taken with them or stop for a chat. 

In our 12 months we have also 

been able to host different events 

such as the “Ashton Gate Eight” 

Anniversary and the “Spirit of 

the Sixties” which were very well 

received by you the 

fans. 

Our prime aim though is to 

reconnect former players with the 

club and it’s been a 

privilege to have been able to bring 

back more than 60 former players 

to Ashton Gate as 

well as reaching out to more than 

100 across the UK and abroad; 

players like 

Kevin Mabbutt, Gary Collier and 

Dariusz “Jacki” Dziekanowski. 

As well as the Ambassadors, we 

also have some invited former 

players with us today so make 

sure you keep a look out for some 

great players of the past. 

Cheers for your support and best 

of luck to the team. 

Thanks.

PAUL GAINEY REMEMBERS THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE GREAT GARY COLLIER 

Gary Collier, alongside Geoff Merrick, was a 

mainstay of the Bristol City defence during the 

club’s rise to the top flight of English football. 

Bristol-born, he clocked up nearly 250 appearances 

for the club he supported as a boy, before leaving for 

Coventry in 1979, for a record sum of £325,000. 

It was argued that Gary’s departure, when he became 

the first player to move under the new freedom of 

contract rule, was the catalyst for the financial woes 

of 1982. Collier’s move prompted manager Alan Dicks 

to sign several of the squad on lengthy, expensive 

contracts ranging from seven to 11 years. 

Gary was an enterprising man, both on and off the 

field. As a cultured centre-half, the elegant Bristolian 

made his debut as an 18-year-old against Luton in 

March 1973, deputising for the injured Geoff Merrick, 

and it was clear that a player of such skill, pace and 

intelligence would win a regular place in the side. 

His move to Highfield Road was destined to be 

short; after two games and a difference of opinion 

with manager Gordon Milne. Gary was pondering a 

return to Ashton Gate when in stepped American club 

Portland Timbers with an offer he could not refuse. 

Coventry banked £365,000, then the biggest fee for 

any English player to cross the Atlantic, and Gary was 

America bound. After Timbers collapsed, he joined 

San Diego Sockers, Kansas City Comets and Chicago 

Sting right up until 1990, and then settled in Florida, 

coaching teams like Fort Lauderdale. 

He starred alongside Geoff Merrick in the 1973/74 FA 

Cup run, voted ‘Player of the Year’ in 1974/75, and was 

a key figure in the 1975/76 promotion success. Ever 

present in the 1976 season, he netted three goals in 

193 League games before joining Coventry. 

Fluent in movement, brimming with confidence 

and ambition and a superb athlete, he had a grace 

and mobility that made him a superb addition to 

the City team jigsaw. But he struggled with some 

of the aerial battles, and the rough and tumble part 

of the game. In the spring of 1978, David Rodgers 

was recalled to replace Gary, who spent most of the 

following season in the reserves.

ASHTON GATE | TUES OCT 4TH 

SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP | ATT: 18,129 

City played out a goalless draw against the Sky Blues in our last outing in 

BS3 a week ago.This was to be the first home game in which we wouldn’t 

find the back of the net this season, as we shared the points in midweek. 

Nigel Pearson said the clean sheet “was important” adding “We didn’t quite 

get our rhythm but we persevered and the players worked hard. We crossed 

the ball into the box 40 times so we certainly got into attacking positions. 

Jay Dasilva was excellent and there were some good performances.”

AWAY 

Days 

With two wins in my 18 visits 

to Deepdale you would think 

that this wouldn’t be one of my 

favourite away trips, but it’s far 

from it! I really love my trips to 

PR1. 

Deepdale is a fantastic stadium 

nicely enclosed and very 

atmospheric and I always find the 

locals friendly and up for a football 

chat with visiting fans. 

My first three visits were played on 

the plastic pitch. We drew one and 

lost two but the most memorable 

and probably disappointing visit 

was the finale to the 1997/98 

season. It was our promotion 

season under John Ward and I 

was convinced that for the first 

time since 1955 we were going to 

get promoted as champions. 

with Jerry Tocknell 

Massengo’s best in a red shirt so 

far! 

The biggest following the boys 

have had in my time visiting 

Preston came in our 2014/15 

promotion season when ‘Captain 

Marvel’ Aaron Wilbraham sent the 

2,400 Red Army behind the goal on 

the Bill Shankley Kop into raptures 

with an 81st minute equaliser. He 

headed past Jordan Pickford to 

secure a massive point and three 

days later promotion was achieved 

in that legendary 6-0 victory at 

Bradford. 

Thankfully Preston joined us in 

the championship for the 2015/16 

campaign when they won the 

play-off final beating Swindon 

(didn’t they celebrate promotion 

in October that season) 4-0…I’m 

yet to find a fellow Red that didn’t 

want the Lilywhites to win that 

game! 

We went to Deepdale top of the 

table for our last fixture and 

as long as we won or matched 

Watford in their final game against 

Kevin Keegan’s Fulham at Craven 

Cottage, the title was ours. A 

couple of thousand City fans in 

attendance witnessed a 2-1 defeat 

despite Sean McCarthy scoring his 

only goal in a red shirt during his 

loan spell, and this coupled with a 

2-1 Watford victory in London, saw 

the title heading to Hertfordshire. 

Our only victory since that painful 

May afternoon at Deepdale came 

in February 2011 when two David 

Clarkson goals with Brett Pitman 

adding to an Andy Keogh opener 

gave us a convincing 4-0 win. This 

was revenge for our controversial 

opening day draw the season 

before when a very young referee 

Michael Oliver handed the hosts 

a 96th minute penalty, which 

Callum Davidson tucked away as 

a two-goal lead disappeared in 

the last 10 minutes. It wasn’t our 

day as the M6 traffic had meant 

that some of our fans had missed 

the kick off. We seem to have 

a bad habit of conceding late in 

this part of Lancashire as last 

season a 95th minute equaliser 

denied us 3 points although it 

was a magnificent strike from 

Jakobsen for that goal in a game 

which I consider the be Han-Noah

ADVERT 

City, aided by an injury to the visiting keeper, managed to 

add to their run of home victories in this top-of-the table 

clash, which attracted a bumper crowd. The unfortunate 

Lansdale in colliding with ‘Tot’ Walsh, who assisted Arthur 

Rankin’s early opener, was replaced in goal for a while, but 

on returning between the sticks he was injured again and 

substituted after 33 minutes. 

City: Coggins; Hughes, Glenn; Neesam, Wadsworth, Smailes; 

Gilhespy, Paul, ‘Tot’ Walsh, Keating, Rankin. 

Millwall: Lansdale; Fort, Pipe; Pembleton, Bryant, Graham; Chance, 

Hinton, Parker, Phillips, Black. 

Referee: JC O’Neill (Barking) 

Following ‘Tot’ Wash’s close-range opener in this 

exciting contest, City displayed such up 

and down form against lowly Northampton that the 

result was in the balance. Cockle’s spot-kick, meant an 

anxious final quarter-of-an-hour for the lowest Ashton 

Gate crowd of the campaign before City were able to 

register their ninth, successive home win. 

City: Coggins; Hughes, Glenn; Neesam, Wadsworth, Smailes;

The winger who grew up in Lambeth, London, arrived 

at Ashton Gate in the summer of 2010 from Barnet, 

signing a three-year deal and the winger hit the ground 

running in his first season as a Robin. 

His first competitive City goal came in an enthralling 

3-3 draw against Barnsley in BS3, which was the first 

of five goals in all competitions during his maiden 

season. 

He amassed 48 appearances in all competitions 

during his first season, in which he was named 

2010/11 Player of the Year. Adomah would depart 

Ashton Gate with a total of 136 City appearances and 

17 goals to his name. 

He has also represented Middlesborough, Aston Villa, 

Nottingham Forest, Cardiff City and now Queens Park 

Rangers, as well as representing Ghana’s Black Stars 

on 19 occasions. 

Shaun Goater moved to BS3 from Rotherham United 

for £175,000 in the summer of 1996, scoring on his 

debut v Gillingham. With 24 goals in all competitions 

in the 1996-97 season, he finished the campaign as 

City’s top scorer and was named in the PFA Team of 

the Year for the division. 

He continued to be clinical in front of goal the 

following season as City battled for promotion, even 

scoring a brace against Bristol Rovers in a 2-1 win at 

the Memorial Stadium in November 1997, and his final 

home outing for City came in a 2-0 win over Rovers in 

March 1998. 

Goater, formerly of Manchester United, secured a 

£400,000 move to Manchester City in March 1998, 

leaving the Robins having scored 45 times in 81 

appearances and having secured his placed as a fan 

favourite with the Ashton Gate crowd. 

Korey Smith arrived in BS3 having helped Norwich City 

reach the Premier League and captained Oldham. In 

his first season with City, he played a crucial role in our 

double-winning campaign. 

His performances on the pitch also saw him named in 

the League One Team of the Season by his peers. 

Smith went on to make 196 appearances donning the 

captain’s armband and becoming a fan favourite in the 

process. 

He cemented his place in City folklore on December 

20th, 2017, the night ‘the roof came off Ashton Gate’ 

as Smith struck in added-time to secure a famous 

victory over Manchester United in the quarter-final of 

the Carabao Cup. 

Having arrived in August 1996, he scored on his debut 

in a 5-0 win over Luton Town, before going on to 

become a regular fixture in the City side throughout his 

first year as a Robin. 

Goodridge’s second season in BS3 saw him play an 

integral role in the City side that gained promotion 

to Division One as he amassed 31 appearances and 

bagged six goals, with memorable strikes coming 

against Preston North End and Burnley at Ashton 

Gate. 

A short loan-spell at Cheltenham Town spell would see 

out the remainder of the 2000/01 campaign, before 

returning to BS3 for 2001/02 with his time at Ashton 

Gate ultimately coming to an end in November. 

Throughout his career, Goodridge would represent 

Barbados on the international stage on 63 occasions, 

scoring 16 goals. 



WHAT DID YOU COLLECT 

FOR THE WORLD CUP 

Grandad? 

CITY FAN STEVE SMITH CONTINUES 

HIS LOOK AT WORLD CUP MEMORABILIA... 

Free gifts just from purchasing petrol would never be the same again. In temporary 

or permanent mounts, these coins set the trend for the future of collecting motoring 

souvenirs. 

You just don’t know what you’re gettin’. 

“Oh no, not another Peter Osgood!” 

A Smiley Glass or World Cup heroes… 

really, is there a choice? 

To become an iconic piece of 

football memorabilia it has to be 

original. So, in preparation for 

the Mexico World Cup finals in 

1970, petroleum giant Esso came 

up with this little classic, all for 

filling up with four gallons of 

go-go juice. 

Ah, the joys of motoring and 

collecting football stuff took a 

major turn in the early months of 

1970 when the slogan, “The Esso 

sign means happy motoring…call 

at the Esso sign,” was the place to 

fill up your gas-guzzler and start 

collecting some serious soccer 

stuff. 

Stuff the Smiley Tumbler, these 

tiny silver-like coins featuring 30 

England international footballers 

were soon to become the new 

currency for the school playground 

with that familiar phrase of “got, 

got, not got.” Why collect bits of 

paper with pictures on when there 

is something all nice and shiny? 

This was certainly a collection that 

gripped the nation as the nickelalloy 

discs featuring the 1966 

World Cup heroes of Bobby Moore, 

Inside the flimsy, temporary coin holder are the mint-fresh coins that were never 

to be re-issued. 

Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Gordon 

Banks, Bobby and Jackie Charlton 

plus 24 others were being snapped 

up. But why 30 coins if only 22 

travelled to Mexico to defend their 

World Champions’ crown? 

The perils of production deadlines 

and Sir Alf Ramsey naming his 

final squad would have been too 

close to release this iconic set into 

the public domain. Therefore there 

was a bit of guess work on behalf 

of the petroleum marketing boys. 

So here are the names captured 

on the discs, but not in the mind 

of Sir Alf: Colin Harvey (Everton), 

Mick Jones (Leeds United), Paul 

Madeley (Leeds United), Ian 

Storey-Moore (Nottingham Forest), 

Henry Newton (Nottingham 

Forest), Alan Oakes (Manchester 

City), Paul Reaney (Leeds United), 

Peter Simpson (Arsenal) and Peter 

Thompson (Liverpool). 

To add a few facts for these 

unfortunate players, Newton, 

Oakes and Simpson failed to win 

any full caps for England, while 

Madeley won all 24 caps post 

Mexico (1971-77). On the other 

side of the coin, goalkeeper Alex 

Stepney (Manchester United) and 

Nobby Stiles (Manchester United) 

both made the South American 

trip but not to be a petrolhead 

collectable. 

For us at Ashton Gate, there are 

two coins to source: Terry Cooper 

and Norman Hunter, both with 

Leeds United at the time, are 

captured forever within the set. 

Of course, there are occasional 

errors to look out for such as one 

coin here. It’s that of Bobby Moore, 

who was made an OBE after 

lifting the World Cup. However, 

on his coin he is credited as CBE 

instead. Hastily, a correct version 

was minted, but it makes little 

difference to the overall value, 

which can often been found for 

under £30 on the internet. 

There are two different ways to 

hold your completed coins in 

place. A temporary paper folder 

was the easiest and cheapest 

way, but for 2/6d (12 ½ p) a 

more impressive blue cardboard 

presentation piece was available. 

Once the coins were pushed into 

place, there was no need to get 

them back out as the reverse side 

just had the Esso logo. 

When I come across some stuff in 

the box marked “Italia 90” I’ll show 

you a more up-to-date version 

on this theme, with one player 

appearing in both sets 20 years 

apart. But now. shall I get out my 

old World Cup boots, magazine 

and football from Argentina 1978? 

I’ll flip you Bobby Charlton, heads 

or tails for it? 

Norman Hunter and Terry Cooper: 1970 

coins and Ashton Gate Legends.
