That season where he played alongside Webster I am not sure their were many opposition forwards who relished coming up against them two. good luck for the future They were only paired together 9 times. In Webster’s only season with us Baker only started 12 games, & Webster missed 3 of those. Kalas was his regular partner (38 games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSheds Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yes saw him play many times always gave 100% But your long term health is more important. Good luck Nathan for the future whatever you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin for life Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 All the best to Nathan Baker on his retirement from professional football. Seeing as doctors say he shouldn't play professionally, I wonder if he could still play part time ? Rovers ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 What an outstanding and dedicated footballer...........who will be sorely missed by fans and players alike. Always giving 100% in every game, and i will genuinely miss you Nathan. The very best of luck in your future, I for one will always remember just how committed and honestly you played every time i watched you. Bristol City were very fortunate to have you play for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Sadly as expected but his health is priority. I have very fond memories of Bakes time in a City shirt . He was an absolute warrior and his ‘take the man and ball’ approach was an absolute thing of beauty when he got it right. My favourite example of this has to be away at Reading in our first season back in the champ under Cotts. He smashed Nick Blackman so hard he went over the advertising hoardings, of course taking the ball in the process. On his day he was class. I wish you all the very best of luck Bakes. Thank you for always being prepared to put your body on the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former Pirate Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hello chaps (and chappesses), long time no post. Wanted to pop in though to say it's a damn shame when anyone is forced to retire through injury and this lad is one of the last old school defenders who I have huge respect for. Wishing him all the best in retirement . Hope you are all well, much love, FP x 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Best wishes Bakes. Always put his body on the line. I remember his partnership with Flint particularly away at Portman Road when they had that annoying little ginger *** up front who tried it on with Flint by leaving his foot in. Flint just glared down at him crumpled on the floor, whereas a smiling Baker scythed right through him leaving him writhing in a heap. Pure class. Best wishes for the future.

Red-Robbo Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 A wise, but very sad decision. Let's hope Bakes stays in good health and can enjoy a decent second career. I'm sure every City fan wishes him all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Can only echo what everyone else has said.The kind of player City has lacked so often.The kind of player you would want to be if you represented City.Always gave everything. Hope you enjoy the next phase of your life Nathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Nice little bit on PW just now (I could have done without seeing the Sheff Utd challenge again though, it doesn`t get any less horrible to watch). All the best Bakes and thanks for all you did for our club. Here`s to a happy and healthy life for you and your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
