    No Jon, Bowyer to Blackburn but then I thought Micheal Appleton to Salford and it’s Neil Wood so what do I know

    I'd even heard Appleton to Blackburn, but then the fans all seemed to want Farke, the ex Norwich manager

    They weren't confident though as the Venkys have a reputation for hiring cheap and using the same agents - very incestuous!

    Which tbf is a vital upgrade on the sorry shitheap we were playing/skidding about on until very recently. The ground staff have done a great job too, in maintaining what has been a really good surface. The pitch against Carlisle didn't look or play badly at all. Kudos to them responsible !

    Does it all hark back to when the Bradford City Agricultural Society convened with Edin Rahic one cold Winter's night?

    Don't remind me...had another year go up on the clock this week. Doesn't Stuart, er, Stewart, look young! And how familiar are those hairstyles -- all those with the part down the middle. (I still do mine that way...)

    Those three had very brief careers overall.

    Chippendale apprenticed with us, but never played a first-team match. He did make a handful of appearances for a few other League sides though. I wonder if he's related to (?father) of the Aidan Chippendale who had a similarly short League career a decade or so ago.

    Hanson was another of our apprentices. He made 1 League start for us in the 1980/1 season, and that was it for his League career.

    Hebditch apprenticed at Leeds, came to us, made 2 League starts in the 1980/1 season, and that was it for his League career.

    Steve Watson was another who never appeared for us, nor anyone else in the League as far as I can tell.

    i hope you remembered all those stats and did not google, showing you might be getting on ,but the grey matter is still working even if some other body parts are not.

    Reports this morning are that Butt and Scholes are getting more involved in training at Salford and picking the team.
    I doubt Appleton or any decent manager will like that . So Neil Wood might to get himself on the management ladder.

    What's the point of having a manager then?

    It's like they want all the control and none of the blame. The next manager is essentially a mere sacrifice so that they can save face by sacking him when it all goes to shit...

    No, no googling, but not quite a photographic memory either. One of the many City-related files I keep is a master player list for City's players: name / position / season-by-season starts, subs, and goals in recognised first-team matches / birth- and death-dates and places / international appearances.

    Thanks:thumbup: The birthdates would work out; both are Bradford-born, and from Hugman's website, those two are the only ones with that surname in post-war to 2015 League play. Some kind of relationship certainly seems likely.
