    And Rod Johnson in a holding role. Imagine a midfield of Kennedy, Abbo, Kammy & Johnson. That's four red cards per match in todays game.

    He was feisty. After he left us I remember hearing about Pepper getting a red card as he was being stretchered off the pitch with a double leg break because he'd chinned the guy that did it to him.

    But I think the point is he probably was good enough before his injuries

    Good enough for who? He hadn't played regularly since 2013 (4 years) when he joined City and then didn't play regularly again until he dropped out of the league in 2020.

    didn't we sign him on the back of his performance against us, when he had Mark Marshall in his pocket?

    I'd hope not but it does sound like a very "Bradford City" thing to do.

    I was starting to doubt myself and it took a bit of digging and admitedly I thought he was at Halifax at the time rather than Scunny but I've found it in a whole article about players getting sent off and stretchered off so he's not the only one to do it!

    The most surprising snippet of information in the article is that Nigel is apparently called Colin!

    Thanks , icing on the cake! I always put £2 on him to score City’s first at the bookies at the back of the Kop. Never won a penny!

    Cheers Colin, aka Nigel!

    He was good enough for Port Vale when he scored 9 in 19 in the league then joined us in January and got 5 in 15 in the 2nd half of the season. Jones ended up with 11 in 21 for Port Vale in all comps then 11 goals and 5 assist in 15 for us.

    Good for him.

    Shame we were discussing Adam Chicksen though.

    Its the old myth where a player gets better the longer they don't play for you. Nothing against Chicksen but he was pretty poor for us.

    I like Jones early on but you could tell he had little in his skill set other than a right foot shot across the diagonal to his game. Most of his goals for Vale and Bradford came from the same method. Could tell long term he wasn't the answer to our striker needs.
